5 QUESTIONS TO KNOW IF A BRAND IS SUSTAINABLE

In today's post we talk about the 5 questions you have to ask yourself to know if a brand is sustainable . As time goes by, we give more and more importance to the process behind a brand. We as consumers are interested in how the manufacturing process is carried out, where said activity is located, where the raw materials come from and much more. of issues that are increasingly common in our society and we love that!

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A BRAND IS SUSTAINABLE?

First of all, you have to investigate: their networks, their website, etc. And if it still doesn't resolve all our doubts, ask the brand directly through their social networks! These are, for us, some of the key questions:

1. Do you use materials with low environmental impact to make your garments?

Among the low environmental impact materials we find fabrics from certified organic farming such as organic cotton or organic linen, or regenerated or recycled fabrics.

2. Does the brand or its suppliers have environmental certifications that control the impacts of their activities and their traceability?

We believe with certainty that another type of fashion, much more sustainable, is totally POSSIBLE . To this end, for a brand to be proclaimed as a 'Sustainable Brand' it must have said environmental certifications with which to ensure sustainability and reduction of the impact of its activity on the planet or that its suppliers have them. At Twin & Chic we only work with natural fabrics from certified organic agriculture and that have GOTS certification, which ensures that the entire value chain follows processes of social, environmental and health respect.

3. Do you use ecological, recycled and/or reusable packaging in your packaging?

Another important fact is the packaging used: less plastic or no plastic, recycled materials or materials with lower environmental impact, and if you allow us as an ideal scenario: packaging zero waste . Our product boxes are made with low environmental impact paper with FSC certification and do not contain glues or inks; They are also so pretty that you will keep them for your little ones' treasures.

4. Does the brand have traceability of its production? 

A sustainable brand must have traceability of its production, that is, know where and under what working conditions its garments are manufactured. And if it is done locally, even better: this will also reduce CO2 emissions. At Twin & Chic we are committed to this type of production. We manufacture all our garments in Spain, in workshops with many years of experience, preserving the textile tradition in our country. We are currently looking for artisans who want to collaborate with our project for the most special jobs such as the honeycomb. Discover more information about it in this article .

5. Solidarity causes ?

A sustainable brand is always committed to a better world, but above all a fairer world . One of the basic pillars of a sustainable brand is that it allocates a small percentage to a charitable cause. We must take care of the final consumer, the planet and all the people who live on it, to the extent possible. At Twin & Chic, we have collaborated with the NGO Surfraider in recent months and now we are looking for a partnership to collaborate with another solidarity project, write to us if you have any suggestions.
