1. Our Balanced Production Approach
Sustainability is important to ARTNA. We continuously strive to improve while offering you the quality products you deserve.
It's no secret that the industry has an environmental problem. We know that all major players in this industry stock thousands of new items every week, exacerbating the growing problem of overproduction. Furthermore, it's estimated that 21% of produced textiles go unsold. Needless to say, the end-of-life of this dead stock is often unknown. As ARTNA collaborates with an on-demand supplier, we only produce an item when we receive an order, allowing us to avoid textile waste related to overproduction.
2. Our Efficient Shipping
Around 86% of ARTNA orders are delivered in the same region they're fulfilled. Having fulfillment centers close to our customers is good both for the business and the planet.
Strategically located fulfillment centers allow for faster shipping times and lower shipping costs, and it also helps with reducing the CO₂ emissions produced when transporting orders.
3. Our Eco-friendly Packaging Journey
We're switching to 90%–100% post-consumer recycled plastic packaging for apparel products in our in-house facilities.Post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) is made from items that consumers use and recycle every day, like plastic bottles, food containers, etc.
This change brings us one step closer to our sustainability goals since recycled content saves raw materials and requires less energy to produce, which is important to our customers and our team.
Biodegradable and compostable plastic might seem like the obvious choice to many since it's made from plant-based materials. While it looks like regular plastic and has similar qualities, it usually has very different sorting and recycling guidelines. To make sure that our choices actually lead to better outcomes, we want to use sustainable packaging options that aren't confusing for the end consumer.
