When it comes to the items we buy to wear and enjoy, sustainability is the name of the game. In this day and age, most of us are aware of the climate crisis and have a vested interest in doing what we can to mitigate it ourselves. But we also know that we need larger companies and corporations to tackle the problem as well.
Happily, there are plenty of companies out there doing exactly that. Here are six companies that are invested in sustainability and what they're doing to help:
- ChopValue creates circular economy products made entirely from recycled chopsticks. To date, the company has recycled and transformed over 34 million chopsticks.
- Crocs has committed to becoming a net zero company by 2030, with a focus on sustainable ingredients, packaging, product afterlife, and resource use.
- Klean Kanteen donates 1% of sales toward sustainability initiatives as part of the "1% for the Planet" movement.
- Madewell has launched Madewell Forever, a new resale program that allows shoppers to donate denim to earn Madewell credit, powered by thredUP's Resale-as-a-Service platform. Through the platform, Madewell and thredUP aim to collect 1 million pairs of denim by 2023.
- PiperWai uses ocean waste plastic (OWP) and other reusable packaging material. Using OWP reduces CO2 emissions by 60% versus virgin plastic, uses 85% less energy, and releases 75% fewer greenhouse gases than the production of virgin plastic.
- Sephora has launched Clean + Planet Positive, a new category of clean brands focusing on climate commitments, sustainable sourcing, responsible packaging, and environmental giving.
