Conscyou partners with brands that are sustainable throughout the entire process of designing their garments, from material selection through the manufacturing process to shipping.
Each brand, in order to be held valuable by Conscyou, must embrace at least 3 values:
Brands use natural, untreated textiles from seeds that are not genetically modified and never sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. Grown on organic farms where workers, their families and their communities are safe from the negative effects of exposure to toxic pesticides.
All chemical inputs (such as dyes) must meet environmental and toxicological criteria. They must be dyed without harming the health of workers and the surrounding environment, using natural dyes.
The brands accept the Fairtrade standards recognized by the World Fair Trade Organization. This means that every worker has fair wages and safe working conditions.
Products are created in ways that reduce waste. This comes in various forms: creating specific patterns to use the entire piece of fabric, reusing water, minimizing electricity, and reusing materials that others waste.
Brands must not use products made by testing on animals, fur or exotic skins.
Brands use recycled, reused or waste fabrics that are extras or scraps from other companies. In this way, waste can be used to avoid landfills.
