CONSCIOUS & CREATIVE

FSC CERTIFIED OCEAN-BOUND PLASTICS

Preventing Deforestation, Protecting People and Conserving Natural Resources

FSC, or the Forest Stewardship Council, is an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests, safe work environments, and sustainable use of natural resources.

Reducing Ocean Pollution Through Transforming Ocean-Bound Plastics into Useful Materials

Community volunteers collect plastic bottles from the world's shorelines, which are then turned into useful materials that combat the eight million tons of plastic that end up in our oceans each year.

CREATIVE MATERIALS

PLANT-BASED OR BIODEGRADABLE RPET

Providing an Infinitely

Recyclable Solution for Single-Use Plastic Containers & Packaging

RPET, Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate, is a sustainable, recyclable material made from plastic single-use containers and packaging. It's infinitely recyclable, lightweight, food-safe, and helps recover 1.5 billion pounds of single-use plastic container waste in the US each year.

Promoting Sustainability and Reducing Pollution Through Harnessing Renewable Resources

Plant-based materials are especially sustainable because they harness renewable resources, such as hemp and bamboo, which require minimal resources, grow quickly, and improve soil health. Biodegradable materials reduce environmental pollution because they are able to naturally degrade, therefore producing less material waste.

RECYCLED UPCYCLED

Conserving Our Natural Resources and Reducing Environmental Waste by Creating New Materials Out of Existing Materials

By reusing various existing substances and fibers such as plastic, polyester, and wool, recycled materials keep waste out of landfills and conserve our natural resources by reducing the need for raw materials.

Repurposing Discarded Materials to Ensure a Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Future

While upcycled materials are similar to recycled materials, they differ in the process of how they are reused. While recycled matter is broken down into its basic components and transformed into new materials, upcycled materials are repurposed in their current state in order to create material of higher value or quality.

CREATIVE MATERIALS

ORGANIC ORGANIC, RECYCLED OR SUSTAINABLE COTTON

Ensuring Soil Health, Fertility, & Non-Toxic Growth for a Better, Healthier Planet

Certified organic materials are grown and harvested without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers, guaranteeing safe, non-toxic products that are better for humans and the environment. They also are grown and processed using sustainable methods such as crop rotation, conservation tillage and natural pest control to promote soil heath and fertility.

Harnessing a Renewable, Sustainable, Natural Fiber to Create Products with Purpose

Grown from the earth, cotton is a natural fiber that's one of the most traditional and versatile fibers available. It's recyclable, plastic-free, and when in its pure form, biodegradable. Cotton is a renewable and sustainable crop, requiring less water and land for harvest.
