We love hiking, adventuring, and relaxing in the great outdoors. Unfortunately as consumers our impact harms the nature we love. For this reason we've taken special care to partner with suppliers who share our values. Moreover, we researched the best ways to have the least impact as a company. So we can enjoy the wild for longer.
Stanley & Stella
Our shirts, hoodies, sweaters and bags are created by Stanley & Stella, Mantis and Native Spirit. These are some of the biggest clothing brands that only work with 100% organic and/or recycled materials.
All products have the G.O.T.S. label and are created under decent working conditions and with fair wages for farmers and employees. No pesticides, insecticides or GMOs are used.
Planting trees
For each product you order on our shop, Eden Reforestation Projects plants Mangrove trees in Africa. We automatically donate a part of our profits to this NGO. You can even track the impact of your order thanks to our partner Verdn.
The amount of trees planted depends on the product. Ranging from 1 tree for our bags to 10 trees for our sweaters and hoodies. More information can be found on the product page.
No inventory
All of our products are printed on demand by our European print on demand supplier. So when you order something it will be printed for you specifically. We don't have an inventory of hundreds of products that have to periodically be thrown away. We look for sustainable ways to deal with returns, but please keep in mind the environment when you place your order!
Our supplier only uses eco-certified water-based inks. Their inks therefore take care of your skin, banishing chemicals, but are also much more environmentally friendly.
Shorter supply chains
We don't use any plastics in our packaging! All the packaging is made from cardboard and we don't have unnecessary plastics around each clothing piece. There's enough plastic in the world already!
Our products are printed on demand and sent to you directly. This allows us to make the supply chain as short as possible.
Small steps to a better Planet
We believe consuming fewer products is one of the ways to decrease your impact on the environment. Maybe you've noticed we're being brutally honest about the up ánd downsides of our products. We do this to diminish the amount of returns and make sure you know what you get. Or as Yavanna says: 'When I order a shirt online, I want to know whether people can see my bra through the fabric, OK?'
What can you do? Make sure you order something you love and know you will wear for a long time - because our products are meant to last. ❤️
We try our best to decrease our impact on the environment. But if you have ideas on how we can do better, please contact us through our Contact page!
Nature is important to us. We only use 100% organic cotton / recycled materials, print using eco-friendly ink, don't use plastic packaging and more.
We write occasional blog posts about everything Geek & Green. Topics ranging from sustainability, hiking, gardening, geek culture and more.
Need some help with your order or have any other questions? Feel free to get in touch with us. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.
