Local.
Making our garments here at home allows us to operate by Canada's high ethical standards and reduce our carbon footprint. The individuals involved in our supply chain are paid a living wage, work in safe and healthy conditions, and have better access to benefits such as healthcare and retirement plans. Local manufacturing also reduces the environmental impact of shipping and transportation because, well, our garments don't have to travel on a boat or a plane to get here.
We care about materials.
Fabric isn't just fabric. Here's a breakdown of several certifications and technologies we look for when choosing our materials.
GOTS: GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.
OEKO-TEX®: STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances.
REPREVE®: REPREVE® is the world’s leading brand of recycled performance fibre made from plastic bottles.
ECONYL®: ECONYL® regenerated nylon is made by recovering nylon waste - such as fishing nets from the oceans and aquaculture, fabric scraps from mills and carpets destined for landfill – and turning it into virgin quality nylon yarn for the fashion and interior industries.
bluesign®: Bluesign® gives you the assurance that only companies that act responsibly were involved in the manufacturing of a product, utilizing the best technologies available to employ used resources responsibly to minimize the impacts on people and the environment.
We clean up after ourselves.
E-commerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support cutting-edge companies that remove carbon from the air.
Together, participating businesses have…
- Removed more than thousands of tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere
- Provided carbon-neutral shipping for more than millions of orders
Here's how it works: For every order we receive, a formula is used to calculate the estimated shipping emissions. Based on those estimates, a portion of our revenue goes to carbon removal companies that have been vetted by scientists from Carbon Direct. Those companies use that money to remove however much carbon our shipments created. Any extra funds go toward the further development of carbon removal technologies.
Let's meet a few of the companies removing carbon from the sky.
Heirloom
Heirloom's direct air capture technology enhances the carbon mineralization process. Heirloom's technology speeds up the rate at which naturally occurring minerals capture CO₂ rather than using energy-intensive fans to draw air in.
