According to WRAP, approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothing end up in household bins across the UK each year, with around 80% of this clothing being sent to landfill. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation estimate that the equivalent of one garbage truck full of textiles is landfilled or burned every second globally. Synthetic fibers, commonly found in fast fashion clothing, can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills, contributing to environmental pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>
Organic cotton offers benefits to both producers and the ecosystems where it is cultivated. Instead of relying on harmful pesticides and fertilizers, organic farming practices incorporate methods such as intercropping and insect traps, supplemented by the natural fertilizer, cow manure. These approaches promote biodiversity and contribute to the exceptionally soft texture of our products.<\/p>
Reduced inputs inherently lead to lower water usage, although organic cotton remains a crop with significant water requirements. However, the location of cultivation plays a crucial role. The organic cotton fields for our products are situated in the Northern region of India, benefiting from ample water supply replenished by monsoon rains. These reservoirs effectively meet almost all the water needs for cultivation.<\/p>

Renewable Energy<\/h3>
Utilizing clean, renewable energy is essential in mitigating the severe impacts of climate change. Throughout our supply chain, we prioritize the use of renewable energy sources. Our operations are powered by renewable sources, including a solar farm and wind farms in India, along with a 150kW PV array. We believe in the affordability and reliability of renewable energy, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to its use.<\/p>
Furthermore, within our factory, machine-to-machine communications technology enables us to dynamically control equipment, activating it only when necessary. This approach ensures a balance between manufacturing demand and on-site generation, further optimizing our energy usage and reducing environmental impact.<\/p>

Plastic Free Packaging<\/h3>
By 2050, the amount of plastic in the ocean is projected to surpass that of fish, which poses a significant environmental concern. In our efforts to combat this issue, we have adopted eco-friendly packaging solutions. Our mailer bags are tear-resistant and waterproof, crafted from paper instead of plastic. Large orders are packaged in cardboard boxes sealed with paper-based tape.<\/p>
We advocate for \"Plants, not plastic\" and encourage the reuse of our packaging or creative coloring to extend its lifespan. Additionally, our products feature recycled material stickers to emphasize our commitment to sustainability.<\/p>

Recyclable<\/h3>
We design our products for durability, encouraging everyone to care for them properly and maximize their lifespan. When our products reach the end of their wearable life, they're designed to be returned to Remill Fibre for reprocessing. Each item is crafted to be reprocessed, respun, and transformed into new products. Instructions for this process are included in every product's washcare label. Simply scan the QR code on the label to receive a Freepost code (applicable in the UK) to send the item back to Remill, and in return, receive a voucher you can use for money off your next purchase.<\/p>
