We removed
conventional plastic from all our packaging
We have systematically addressed all plastic in our packaging finally removing the last bit of conventional plastic in autumn 2020.
This is how we now package our clothes:
- Our socks, underwear and accessories are packed in card or paper packaging.
- Our socks are now secured with a stitch so we no longer need one-use disposable mini plastic hangers.
- We use two types of compostable garment bag. Home compostable bags break down in a home/ garden compost. Our industrially compostable bags need to go to local authority recycling. These bags are a huge improvement on plastic but this an area that needs much more development in technology and infrastructure to create a truly sustainable solution.

- Our parcel bags are paper.
- Our swing tags are made from recycled paper cord and a re-usable metal safety pin.

We say we’ve removed all conventional plastic because our industrially compostable bags still technically contain a type of plastic, although it breaks down much faster than conventional plastic. This is the best solution given the systems currently in place. When a better solution is available, we’ll use it.
