GOOD FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT

At Bamboozld, we are not only super passionate about fun, comfortable, vibrant socks, underwear and sleepwear, we’re also fiercely protective of the natural environment. Without the wonderful waterways, the endless green spaces, the birdlife, the wildlife, and the flowers; our lives would be very dull indeed. Nobody wants that! Protecting the environment is very important to us. We are conscious of the increasing demand from our community to ensure that our products are sustainable, our processes are environmentally friendly, and our vision takes into consideration our impact on this Earth. Our goal is to try and minimise our imprint wherever possible using eco-friendly organic bamboo, recycled packaging and sustainable manufacturing.

Bamboozld Sustainability Actions

OKEOTEX-100 STANDARD

Bamboozld fibres are dyed under strict guidelines as set out int the REACH standards for responsible textile production. All our yarns are manufactured using OKEOTEX-100 Standards ensuring no harmful chemicals are used.

CONSTANT SEARCH FOR IMPROVEMENT - RECYCLED PACKAGING

Our packaging was originally paper packaging with a plastic hook and plastic Gimble pin. The plastic hook was first use plastic, and was packed into polybags for transportation. We then moved to a recycled card for our packaging, evolving the design by removing the plastic hook and replacing it with a sewing method (cotton thread) for attaching the header cards to the socks. To hold 3 pairs of socks together we used a paper wrap and a recyclable PU liner for the shipping cartons. This liner was able to protect the products during shipping. Our packaging change resulted in the removal of over 900,000 plastic hooks from circulation annually and we said goodbye to 300,000 polybags and a gazillion gimble pins. While we were happy with these stats, we were not satisfied it was enough. We did find that unfortunately, in the current market, there are no products that are 100% biodegradable in terms of plastic bagging for carton liners or shipping bags – many claim to be Biodegradable but none have been proven to pass the residue tests that can confirm they leave behind no trace elements. Since we don’t know for sure that they cannot be reabsorbed into the food chain, we choose to avoid them in favour of recyclable materials that we know can at least have another life and not cause harm to animals or humans.

ORGANIC BAMBOO

Bamboo has a natural pesticide (Bamboo kun) which means no chemicals are used in growing or harvesting our bamboo, providing a cleaner, safer environment. Sustainably sourced, this wonder fibre can grow up to 4ft a day. Every part of the plant is used in manufacturing super comfy, luxuriously soft and breathable eco-friendly garments.
