It is still unexplainable to us why the natural, normal, correct should be certified instead of denouncing the unnatural, burdensome or destructive.<\/p>\n
The jungle of sustainability labels is becoming increasingly dense and opaque.
\nThis label and certification story is a business, a lot of money is made with it. And it is always just a piece of paper with stamps.<\/p>\n
It is an absolute tragedy and it is inhuman what is currently happening in Bangladesh, India, Cambodia, etc., triggered by the worldwide pandemic. Thousands of factories have been closed down and millions of workers have not received a wage, not to mention the health threat. This is exactly where, unfortunately, the piece of paper does not work and all this on the backs of the poorest. We cannot and will not support this practice.<\/p>\n
We are opting for our judgment. We have the choice between a piece of paper with a stamp or a person we can watch at work.<\/p>\n
For this reason we visit our European partners (manufacturers of our production chain) exclusively in person. We are very happy…<\/p>\n

\nEU origin, consisting of 100% recycled material, which makes a large contribution to the recycling of the collected waste paper.
\nProducts made of grey board, unless they are coated with foil, can be added to the waste paper several times at the end of their life cycle and thus enter the recycling and production process again<\/p>\n
\nThe document pouch is made entirely of paper.
\nIn combination with the environmentally friendly packaging, we can ensure an ecological, resource-saving and plastic-free single-material packaging.
\nThis can be completely disposed of in waste paper or even composted.<\/p>\n
\nFor this reason, we deliberately avoid the wear and tear of these resources.<\/p>\n
\nFor t-shirts we will only use screen printing from 2020. Labels may look noble, but they are woven from polyester (petroleum), therefore another no-go.<\/p>\n
\nFor the hoodies, we use fabric remnants from the cutting and have them screen printed.
\nIf the fabric remnants are not sufficient, we use used t-shirts from our customers and have them cut and printed after cleaning.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Reuse” tab_id=”1590932785686-b35e7c39-402b”][vc_column_text]Due to your regular and long-term use of our products there may be holes
