Organic cotton comes from seeds that have not been genetically modified (non-GMO) and is grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilisers. Organic cotton farming uses natural methods, creates biodiversity and promotes good health and quality of life for farmers and their communities.
Studies show that recycling polyester allows for considerable energy savings in the manufacturing process (33-53%), and it is undeniable that tackling plastic waste has become one of the major environmental challenges of this decade. Globally, about 450 million metric tons of plastic are produced every year and 9.5 million tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean annually, most of it single-use.
Recycled cotton can be generally defined as converting cotton fabric into cotton fiber that can be reused in textile products. The largest volume of recycled cotton sources is produced through pre-consumer waste, such as cutting scraps. The CO² and fossil fuel emission savings can be partially offset by using existing materials.
Our packaging is designed to be sustainable in all aspects: its materials, manufacturing processes and recyclability. Our bio poly mailers are made from natural resin and are ‘OK Compost!’ certified. Our mailer boxes are made from 90% recycled cardboard and fully recyclable. For more information about their eco properties, please scan the QR code on our mailer boxes.
We started Wearebasics with fully circular ambitions. Where we currently stand is just the beginning. We are committed to spend every day improving our materials, processes and transparency in our supply chain. Some of our concrete steps to achieve these are:
