Sustainability
General sustainability statement
Sustainability is important to FAN ONE. We’re getting better every step of the way while providing you with the quality products you deserve.
It’s no secret that the apparel industry has a sustainability problem. We all know about the big apparel conglomerates that stockpile thousands of new items every week, adding to the growing problem of overproduction.
To paint the picture, a shocking 21% of produced textiles are estimated to remain unsold. Needless to say, the end-of-life journey for the leftover stock is most often unknown.
As FAN ONE works with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items when we get an order, avoiding textile waste from overproduction.
Our printing partner’s high-quality printing tech creates almost no wastewater and uses less energy than standard industry printers.
Energy, Water & Chemicals
Our printing partner's state-of-the-art printing tech creates almost no wastewaters and uses less energy, lowering our carbon footprint.
The inks we use for printing are water-based and free of harmful chemicals. We take care to dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines, so we’re not harming the environment.
Eco-friendly packaging materials
There are many reasons why a product or material could be considered sustainable. Currently, at FAN ONE, our eco-friendly product collection consists of items made of at least 70% organic or recycled materials or a mix of these materials.To verify material content, we collect valid certificates from our suppliers. As proof of the organic composition of the apparel products, we only accept GOTS or OCS certificates. For recycled composition, we accept either GRS or RCS certificates. We only accept the Ecocert COSMOS certificate as proof of the beauty product’s natural origin.
Reducing Carbon emissions
We're looking into new ways to make the best of our resources and reduce the CO2 produced when transporting orders, therefore we partner with fulfillment centers close to the customers.
