Therma Kōta Sustainability Actions

Made-to-order production

At Therma Kōta, ‘waste not, want not’ informs all we do. We believe that making our products locally in Canada (versus off-shore), to last a lifetime, with as little excess as possible, helps to greatly reduce our eco-footprint. With our made-to-order business model, we don’t over-produce excess inventory.

Fabric off-cuts reused

Fabric cuttings are used to make tote bags, aprons, makeup bags and scrunchies. As each shearling coat is being created, mittens are made with the extra material off-cuts. Smaller pieces are cut into geometric shapes to be sewn together for our Hygge Handbag and Home Collection.

Extra shearling redistributed

Extra shearling pieces are given to Indigenous makers of baby moccasins and baby mittens. The tiniest remaining pieces are then used to fill pillows.

Recycled packaging and paper

All Therma Kota items are shipped in recycled cardboard. All paper trash is collected in large recycled paper bags instead of plastic and delivered to a Waste Management facility to be recycled. Therma Kōta’s hangtags are printed on recycled paper.

Shearling material statement

Shearling, the pillar of our brand, is a renewable natural resource. A by-product of the food industry, it is biodegradable, unlike faux fur made of plastic polymers.
