For a better future! - This item meets our high sustainability standard. The following criteria apply:

• 

  durability

  Durable products have a particularly high lifetime due to their quality and reparability. The durability counteracts mass consumption and high waste volumes and minimises their negative impacts.
• 

  fair and social production

  This criterion includes socially acceptable production conditions and a transparent value chain for the products. In addition to internationally regulated social standards, there are a number of specific measures that are initiated and implemented by the manufacturers.
• 

  pollutant-reduced production

  Pollutants can have a negative impact on humans, animals and entire ecosystems. The manufacture of sustainable products is characterised by the reduction or elimination of harmful chemicals.
• 

  recycled material

  This criterion includes products with materials made from already used ingredients that have been processed into new fabrics. For example, many sustainable bags are made from ocean plastics: their production causes fewer emissions.
