Plastics & Packaging
We are currently phasing out all non-recyclable plastics in our packaging, and will be fully recyclable or non-plastic by the end of 2020. That means no non-recycled plastic bags, plastic clips, collar straighteners, plastic swing tags, and plastic labels. We substitute with wood, paper/cardboard or metal and try to strike a balance between crisp, non-crease presentation and heavy over-packaging. The recycled plastic bags we use are category 4 and are considered a safe form of plastic. This does, however, mean your garment may not appear as 'over-packed' as other brands, but we feel this is a small price to pay when it comes to the environment. The quality of the garment is obviously not affected. The mailing bags used for on-line orders are made from 100% recycled materials and contain a biodegradable additive to assist with the biodegrading process. As previously mentioned, we have a strict no-plastic policy on all our buttons.
Transportation
We are conscious of the carbon footprint of our process but accept that getting raw materials into production and then into your home implies a great deal of transport. We avoid use of airfreight as much as possible. We have a logistics process which streamlines deliveries to ensure maximum efficiency, including use of recycled cardboard and maximum load densities to get most efficient haulage time and frequency - cutting down on wastage and empty consignment space. We use sea transport with cargo vessels which abide by the highest standards of pollution reduction and best industry practice.
