Our 99% Plastic-Free Supply Chain
Most of the plastic in the apparel industry isn't in the garments. It's in the bag they're shipped in, the tape on the carton, the wrap on the pallet, the tag attached. Plastic-free isn't one decision, it's hundreds. From the start, our focus has been to keep plastic out where we could, and remove it where we couldn't. The result is a 99% plastic-free supply chain. We're still chasing the last 1%.
No Plastic Garment Bags
No individual garment bags. Despite it being the common practice in our industry, we do not single-bag any of our products.
No Plastic Duster Bags
We’ve removed commonly used duster bags from all our production. To protect white, or easily damaged garments during transportation, we’ve opted to use certified EN13432 biodegradable and compostable bags instead.
No Plastic Cellotape
By using paper tape instead of standard cellotape on our cartons, we’ve reduced unnecessary waste and made it easier to recycle cardboard.
No Plastic Swing Tags
The majority of our products come untagged but for retail, we opt for card swingtags attached with a pin. Over the years, we’ve workshopped these to be as recyclable as possible, removing unnecessary features.
No Plastic Hooks
Our socks, underwear and belts have moved to a cardboard hook where the garment hangs on a clothing rack in stores. We have changed to thread or recycled plastic swift tags where used.
No Plastic Retail Bags
We have never used single-use plastic bags as store bags, and we will continue to do this. All of our paper retail bags are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
No Plastic Pallet Wrap
Since 2020, the cartons that are delivered into our warehouses arrive free from plastic shrink wrap.
Recycled Courier Bags
Most of our orders ship in cartons. When courier bags are necessary, we use recycled plastic. It doesn’t eliminate plastic from our supply chain, but it does mean we aren’t creating new plastic, reducing our use of non-renewable resources.
