MATERIALS

Our product design focuses on the use of materials that are kinder on our planet. We use natural, eco-conscious fibres matched with a focus on durability and product lifecycle.  

ORGANIC COTTON

At Northern Olive, we are committed to sustainability and reducing our impact on the environment. That's why we prioritise the use of organic cotton in our products. Organic cotton offers numerous environmental benefits compared to conventionally grown cotton.
Cotton is one of the most widely used textiles in the world. However, conventional cotton production can have significant negative impacts on the environment. It requires large amounts of water, relies on harmful chemicals, and often involves the use of genetically modified organisms. On the other hand, organic cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and genetically modified organisms. This eliminates the negative effects of these substances on the soil, water, air, and biodiversity. By choosing organic cotton, we can help protect ecosystems and promote healthier farming practices.
In addition to its environmental benefits, organic cotton also offers superior quality and durability. Our products made from organic cotton are designed to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and further minimising waste. At Northern Olive, we source our organic cotton from third-party certified suppliers. This ensures that the highest environmental and social standards are met throughout the entire cotton production process. By supporting certified organic cotton, we contribute to a more sustainable and responsible textile industry.
By choosing Northern Olive's organic cotton products, you can make a positive impact on the environment while enjoying stylish and durable storage and travel solutions. Join us in our commitment to sustainability and choose organic cotton for a greener future.

 

RECYCLED COTTON

Recycled cotton is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional or organic cotton. It is primarily made from pre-consumer waste and offcuts, which are blended with new cotton for strength and durability. This process prevents additional textile waste and requires fewer resources compared to the production of conventional or organic cotton.
At Northern Olive, we are committed to sourcing recycled cotton from third-party certified suppliers. We ensure that the recycled cotton we use has a minimum of 35% recycled material, further reducing the environmental impact of our products.

There are several benefits to choosing products made from recycled cotton:

  1. Environmental Sustainability: By using recycled cotton, we help reduce the demand for new cotton production, which requires significant amounts of water, energy, and chemicals. This contributes to the conservation of natural resources and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with cotton production.
  2. Waste Reduction: Recycling cotton waste and offcuts helps divert textile waste from landfills, reducing the amount of waste generated by the fashion industry. This promotes a circular economy and supports a more sustainable approach to textile production.
  3. Energy and Water Conservation: The production of recycled cotton requires less energy and water compared to the production of new cotton. 
  4. Durability and Quality: Recycled cotton, when blended with new cotton, maintains the strength and durability of conventional cotton. Our products made from recycled cotton are designed to last, ensuring that you can enjoy them for years to come.
  5. Social Responsibility: By supporting the use of recycled cotton, you are contributing to a more sustainable and ethical fashion industry. The demand for recycled cotton encourages brands to prioritise sustainable practices and supports the livelihoods of workers involved in the recycling process.
