Sustainability

QuitAndMove exclusively uses raw materials and processes eco friendly and  with low environmental impact. The internal labels, the embroidery thread, the packaging and the transportation are been developed to minimize the consumption and the environmental impact.


PACKAGING

QuitAndMove optimizes the consumption of paper using a special envelope for shipment.
The use of the envelope reduces paper consumption of 18% than the traditional box . The envelope facilitates the disposal giving you the chance to throw in the waste of paper without having to disassemble any component.
The envelope is made from recycled 85% and 100% recyclable.   
The duct tape that may be used is recycled and recyclable paper and the vegetal adhesive is activated by  water.

 


TRANSPORTATION

To minimize the emission of CO2 into the air, for his Special Collection Made in Italy, QuitAndMove has optimized the transportation selecting his suppliers within a radius of 200 km from his headquarter.

For the others collections we ship the products, for the long distance, only by boat.

 

 

Carbon footprinting

The collection QuitAndMove made in collaboration with EarthPositive Apparel is 100% Organic with 90% Reduced CO2.

The Carbon Footprint of a product is the total the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted as part of a product's manufacture, distribution, use and disposal. Greenhouse gases (GHGs) are so called because they trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and keep the planet warm. The main gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide.

The carbon footprint has been calculated in accordance with BSI PAS2050 methodology, and certified by the Carbon Trust.

The 90% reduction has been achieved by a combination of low-impact organic farming, efficiency in manufacturing and transportation, and the use of renewable energy instead of the fossil fuel based grid electricity.

 

The products with 90% Reduced CO2 are marked with this symbol:
