The bags we use to send your clothing are made from 100% recycled plastic. The bag can be saved and reused for other shipments or sorted as soft plastic waste.
That’s why we’re sharing the considerations we've made regarding shipping bags and packaging.
According to the industry organisation Danish Fashion and Textile (DM&T), there are three types of materials to consider: cardboard, paper, and recycled plastic. DM&T refers to various studies indicating that recycled plastic is the least environmentally impactful choice of the three in terms of CO2 emissions, as turning wood into cardboard and paper requires significant energy and chemicals.
However, when you purchase our wool detergent, we always pack the order in a cardboard box to protect the clothing, as there is a risk of leaks if the detergent is sent in a bag.
Our shipping bags are made from 100% recycled post-industrial plastic, meaning that the plastic used to make the bag is already in circulation. No new materials are used in its production.
Our shipping bag is 40 micrometres (my) thick. This is the minimum thickness needed to withstand handling and transport. The thicker the bag, the more CO2 it emits during production. We have therefore chosen the thinnest quality to minimise CO2 emissions as much as possible.
We recommend reusing the bag, for instance, by saving it and using it again for other shipments or storage. The more times it is reused, the fewer materials are in circulation, helping to protect our environment. When the bag has served its purpose, it should be sorted as soft plastic and disposed of at a recycling centre or other facilities that accept soft plastic waste.
