Sustainability

How we do it…

From the moment an Uthntic piece is weaved together to the second it lands at your door, we’ve considered how to best create this range to preserve the planet, respect people and create change. Here’s how: 

Ethically Made Youth Clothing

Our clothing is approved by the Fair Wear Foundation. Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent, non-profit organisation that works with companies and factories to improve labour conditions for garment workers. Find out more at: www.fairwear.org.

In a nutshell, our clothing is created with:

  • No child labour
  • No forced labour
  • Working conditions that are safe and healthy for staff
  • Lawful contracts
  • Lawful wages
  • Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
  • No staff discrimination
  • No excessive work hours for staff

ORGANIC AND RECYCLED MATERIALS

Our suppliers source only quality raw materials, grown or produced in ways that do not harm people, animals, or the environment. 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (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. All of our products carry this certification.

We exclusively use 100% GOTS certified organic cotton from India, recycled polyester from China and other sustainable materials such as Modal®.

Our clothes are also OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified meaning that our clothing is tested for harmful substances to support the safety and ultimate health of our customers.

REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Our suppliers are also working closely with Carbon Trust to reduce their carbon emissions year on year, plus under this certificate, they further commit to achieving ongoing reductions wherever deemed fit.

SLOW FASHION – MADE FOR YOU 

We manufacture on demand. This means each piece of our collection is made for you and we hold limited stock on hand. This helps avoid waste and ensures we are producing our range with minimal stress on the environment.

100% COMPOSTABLE  & RECYCLED PACKAGING + ECO-FRIENDLY DELIVERY 

Delivering your order is just as important as manufacturing it… which is why we use 100% compostable mailer bags and recycled packaging!
