Jenerous is a sustainable and fair trade clothing brand selling stylish, affordable and ethically created clothing and accessories. They are a non profit social enterprise business on a mission to make a positive difference, and empower and transform lives through fashion.

Jenerous sells ladies’ and girls’ clothing and accessories, combining Indian artisan hand block printing with contemporary style. And the majority of the collection is made from organic cotton that’s hand printed by artisans using eco-friendly dyes!

All of the (gorgeous) clothing you see on their website is made in fair trade factories and from sustainable and deadstock fabrics. They have even taken the step to become a World Fair Trade Organization First Buyer, partnering with WFTO member Jacobs Well. (Talk about transparency!)

Proceeds from every sale goes to support the Jenerous suppliers and communities in India. So far they have donated saris to women suffering from leprosy and financially supported their team in India throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We have absolutely no doubt that as this brand grows, so too will their community impact.

Refillable cleaning products offer a range of benefits, making them a great choice for those who want to clean their homes in an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way.

Using refillable bottles reduces waste, as you can reuse the same bottle multiple times, rather than throwing it away after each use. This lessens the amount of plastics and other materials that end up in landfills or the ocean. Any step towards using less single-use plastic is a good one in our book!

Buying refillable cleaning products can be a more cost-effective option in the long run too! Concentrated cleaning solutions and tablets take up less space and are much more cost effective to ship.

Refillable cleaning products are often more convenient, as you don’t have to constantly buy new bottles of cleaning solution. You can simply refill the same bottle, which can save time and effort.

Refillable products allow you to customize your solution too. You can choose the type of cleaner you want to use and the strength of the solution, so you can tailor it to your specific cleaning needs. Simply add more or less water to change the strength of the product! Many refillable products are also designed to be versatile, meaning you can use the same solution for several different tasks, reducing the need for multiple products.

The Klaeny Brand Story

Klaeny works to save plastic wherever they can – that’s why they developed a revolutionary pasture grass carton that saves up to 96% water in production. Many of their products come in glass bottles at first, and then only require refill tablets to continue to use their high quality cleaning products. With Klaeny you no longer need to use a single-use plastic bottle for cleaning.

Klaeny’s mission is to keep your household clean without polluting our environment!

When it comes to underwear, organic cotton is likely the best material out there! Environmentally speaking, organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, which can have negative impacts on the environment and the health of farmers and workers. By choosing organic cotton, you are supporting more sustainable farming practices that protect the planet and the people who grow our food and fiber.

Since organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful chemicals, it is less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. This is especially important for underwear, which is in direct contact with the sensitive skin in the genital area.

Organic cotton is also typically softer and more breathable than conventional cotton. This can make for a more comfortable and enjoyable wearing experience!!

Organic cotton, particularly from Y.O.U is produced using fair trade practices, which means that farmers and workers are paid a fair wage and work under safe conditions. By choosing organic cotton underwear, you can support a more ethical and sustainable supply chain.

The Y.O.U Underwear Brand Story

Y.O.U Underwear aims to become a business that leaves no negative trace on people or the environment through any part of its business structure. They are committed to ethical practice and sustainability across a diverse range of processes, from the sourcing of raw materials to manufacture, transport to packaging, marketing to employment.

They are especially committed to the social and environmental aspects of our impact, and seek to leave a positive legacy in both of these areas. They want to ensure the highest environmental and social standards in our product life cycle, business governance, customer relationships and in-house activities.

Beeswax food wraps can be used as an alternative to plastic cling wraps and plastic bags. The thin layer of beeswax is sticky so it adheres to itself, and stays secure on food containers.

They shield fresh food from air, light, and moisture while letting off-gas escape. This helps the food stay more fresh, for longer! Plastic wraps don’t allow for the food items to off-gas, resulting in mushy and spoiled food! Beeswax food wraps are entirely natural and inspired by properties of the skins, peels, and rinds found in this natural world.

So not only are beeswax food wraps more sustainable to produce because they’re made from all natural materials, they also help us to better preserve our foods! Food waste is a huge environmental problem because as food breaks down in landfills, it releases methane and CO2 into the atmosphere. If we can ensure food stays more fresh for longer, it increases the likelihood that it will get used up and not be wasted.

The Abeego Brand Story

Inspired by nature’s lemon peel and invented in 2008, Abeego is the original beeswax wrap that breathes & protects. Like nature’s peels, Abeego shields fresh food from air, light & moisture while letting off-gas escape. The result: fresh food for what feels like forever. Abeego’s ingredients – beeswax, tree resin & jojoba oil infused into a hemp & organic cotton cloth – were hand-picked for their synergy to keep fresh food living for longer than ever imagined.

Abeego is Toni Desrosiers’ love child born out of a desire to live holistically and a deep drive to disrupt for good. In her mission to Keep Food Alive in pursuit of food for all, she invented beeswax food wrap in 2008 and disrupted the billion dollar plastic wrap industry in the process.

They are B Corp Certified and made in Canada.

Hemp fabric is a great textile option because it is not only durable and strong, but offers many environmental benefits when compared to cotton. Hemp plants actually sequester more carbon from the environment as they grow, meaning they’re a carbon negative crop!

The 8000 Kicks Hemp Shoes Brand Story

8000 Kicks empowers their customers to opt-in for a more sustainable lifestyle by providing a superior eco friendly solution. The team wanted to provide footwear for the active person so they could have the best experience under any condition. Their hemp shoes and accessories are durable and naturally waterproof!

The 8000 Kicks hemp shoes use:
~ 100g of repurposed algae
~72% less CO2 used than the typical shoe
~70% less water used for the materials

The creators behind 8000 Kicks searched the world for a trusted hemp supplier. Their dedication to a sustainable and transparent supply chain is inspiring! What started out as just hemp fabric shoes has now expanded into an entire line of shoes and accessories.

We spoke with Anna at length about sustainable fabric manufacturing in our episode on EnvironMental Podcast, but the fashion industry as it stands is bad for the environment. Bloomberg says that the industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions. It adds hundreds of millions of tons of plastic to the environment every year and it’s one of the largest waste streams in the world – both in production and consumption.

It’s vital for the transition to a sustainable future that we look to people like Anna for a lesson in how to make sure that fabric production and dying processes are as eco-friendly as possible.

The Sanctuary Innerwear Brand Story

Founder, Anna Luckai created Sanctuary Innerwear to give you the opportunity to bring the goodness of plants into your day from the moment you wake up. To say this brand is a labor of love is an understatement. She hand designs and makes every piece of clothing herself and she keeps the supply chain short, verified, and completely transparent. Many brands claim to be sustainable. This one truly is. Your clothing should help you stay well. This line actually does.
