SUSTAINABILITY

FABRIC AND DYES 

We strive to ensure that the fabric production process minimises impact on the environment. We love that our Lycra fiber fabric range is OekoTex 100 certified. This ensures that raw materials, intermediate and end products at all stages of production are free of harmful substances. You can find more information on OEKO-TEX 100 here.

 

 

 

The dyes used in our Lycra fiber colour range are Bluesign approved! This system guarantees the application of sustainable ingredients in a clean process. Therefore managing the natural resources soundly and responsibly, reduces water and air emissions, improves its waste water treatment and generally reduces its ecological footprint. - Yes SN babes we love this! You can find more information on Bluesign certification here.  

  

CARBON OFFSETTING  

 

 

There’s only one thing we’re more passionate about than our business… the planet! This is why we’re making an effort to use sustainable practices in every part of our business. We’ve teamed up with CarbonClick, a New Zealand company making it easy for people and businesses to help fight climate change.

CarbonClick looks like a green button at checkout. When you click it, a small contribution is added to your basket which purchases carbon offsets. These offsets reduce the environmental impact of the carbon emissions related to the purchase. CarbonClick’s offsets fund forest restoration, tree planting, and renewable energy projects around the world. We’re proud to be part of the fight against climate change.

We’ll be making our own contributions, and changing our practices to reduce our carbon footprint. We hope you’ll join us in creating a sustainable future, by choosing to CarbonClick with your purchase.

 

COCONUT BOWLS AND WOODEN SPOONS 


  

Coconut bowls and wooden spoons. Our mission: To replace plastic with natural products and in doing so inspire a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. All our Coconut bowls are reclaimed and are handcrafted by hand. Our wooden buddha spoons are made from reclaimed waste ebony wood. 

 

PACKAGING

You will find that our tags and packaging are locally made in NZ and we strive for recycled or biodegradable content and vegetable oil printing where possible. 

 

LIMITED PRODUCTS RELEASED AND REPURPOSED FABRIC 

 

At SN we ensure that all our pieces developed are limited edition pieces to ensure that we are never over producing and any offcuts created out of the sewing process are given to childcare centres for art and play.

We also use repurposed dead stock fabric from other designers to help do our part by diverting this excess fabric from landfills.
