Sustainability

All materials in our store meet the highest ecological standards.

We guarantee organically grown cotton.

Cotton fibers are among the most important raw materials for textiles of all kinds. Cultivation and further processing consume vast amounts of resources, which means that the cotton industry has a massive impact on the environment. To minimize this negative impact, we only use certified organic cotton. This guarantees that no pesticides or harmful fertilizers are used and that genetically unmodified seeds are used. Compared to conventional cotton, less CO2, water and energy are required for the cultivation and production of organic cotton, and the certification also confirms fair working conditions throughout the entire textile manufacturing process.

Certification: Green Button
Certification: Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)

We are committed to more justice.

The seal stands for fair trade and humane working conditions. Fairtrade makes an important contribution to greater justice along the supply chain and ensures a sustainable improvement in social, ecological and economic standards. The label ensures fairer pay, strengthens structures for democratic participation and ensures better working conditions, e.g. in relation to health benefits, overtime and vacation entitlements.

We always do our best to become even better.

The Cradle to Cradle Gold certificate™ is one of the highest ecological standards in the manufacture of goods worldwide. It guarantees a consistent circular economy for the resource-saving manufacture of products without waste. All textiles are recyclable, fully biodegradable and 100% free of critical substances. If your clothing rots, it releases nutrients for the soil: this means your clothing can be returned to the natural cycle from which it once escaped. Safe for people and nature - from production to the end product.

Certification: Cradle to Cradle Gold™

The certification: Cradle to Cradle Gold™ guarantees maximum ecological safety and a genuine circular economy. Our textiles are chemically harmless and designed in such a way that they become new raw materials again after their service life. A promise for the earth and future generations without compromise.

We ship plastic-free.

We try to make all areas of our organization future-oriented, resource-saving and sustainable. This starts with an almost completely digital organizational structure and extends to vegan meals on our ships and our online store. And this is where we go to great lengths to make our products as sustainable as possible. We are always on the lookout for innovative ideas to further reduce our impact on nature and better protect the planet. All materials meet the highest social and ecological standards.

We are creative in order to conserve resources.

The topics of upcycling and recycling are becoming increasingly important in order to conserve valuable resources in the long term. That is why we are always on the lookout for creative ways to use recycled raw materials. For example, we use fibers made from recycled cotton or post-consumer recycled materials such as plastic waste, marine waste or old fishing nets. We always focus on innovative development and cooperation with specialists in upcycling and recycling. Even shopworn items, donated wetsuits or ghost nets get a second chance in our store.
