Sustainability Policy


Our Values

The negative environmental impact of the fashion industry is undeniable. So crafting a brand that targets throw away culture by producing products that are ethically and sustainably made is of huge importance to us.

With our commitment to sustainability, each product is carefully considered from conception or selection, right through to the packaging, and how we reduce, reuse and recycle materials. 

 

Where our garments are sourced and printed

Our designs are printed on garments made from GOTS certified 100% organic cotton. We source our garments from Earth Positive® where they are manufactured in a factory powered by green renewable energy in Tamil Nadu, Southern India.

EarthPositive®  have reduced the carbon footprint of their products by around 90% through a combination of innovative product design, low impact organic agriculture, efficiency in manufacturing, and by replacing standard grid electricity with renewable wind power. Their footprint calculations were certified by the Carbon Trust Certifications in the U.K.

All garments manufactured under organic textile standards are PETA-Approved Vegan by PETA Foundation (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Often garment printing uses dyes and inks that contain PVC resins and phthalate plasticisers. However, we only use water based, vegan, and eco-friendly inks. 



Working Conditions

The Fair Wear Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation that works with companies and factories to improve labour conditions for garment workers.

100% of EarthPositive® production undergoes annual audits to comply with the FWF Code of Labour Practices in accordance with the International Labour Organisaion's conventions.  

EarthPositive® adheres to strict policies with regard to the following minimum social responsibility criteria: 

  • No use of child labour 

  • No use of forced labour 

  • Safe and healthy working conditions 

  • Legal labour contracts 

  • Payment of living wage 

  • Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining 

  • No discrimination against employees 

  • No excessive hours of work

 

Packaging

Your orders are lovingly packed and sent out in shipping boxes made from recycled Kraft material or compostable mailers. 

All of our internal packaging materials are recyclable and compostable as well as our branded tissue paper and stickers. We also use paper wrap as an alternative to bubble wrap to pack delicate items for shipment.

Even our 'thank you' cards are printed locally on recycled card using vegetable based inks!
