OUR STORE DESIGN MATERIALS
All new stores are fitted with hangers made from RCS certified Fasal®, a wooden compound made from renewable resources and designed to be circular. At the end of their life these hangers are collected and made into new ones.
OUR PACKAGING MATERIALS
Another area of improvement that we're working towards is an alternative solution for all our plastic product packaging. It's important to find the right solution that protects our product, to ensure that it reaches you in the best condition. We're testing two options and expect to start implementing our chosen solution in 2022.
You can help us in our mission by reusing and recycling our packaging materials.
