Emily JubbAs we enter a new decade, it’s about time more people became aware of the environmental implications of their actions. Whether it be our morning commute, or the clothes on our back, everything we do affects us in someway or form and we need to become more aware.
One way to open your eyes to this is by following the footsteps of the Fashion Industry by conforming to the new wave of Eco-Conscious brands and products. We are here to list our favourite brands who hold sustainability and the planet as their core ethos, and how you can invest in the future with these products.
Uunique London started its journey in 2009, after noticing a gap in the market for pure fashion inspired cases. Their mission is to reverse the cycle of pollution and help save the planet, by creating sustainable device accessories. They have started the process by removing harmful materials and processes from their manufacturing.
The Nutrisiti 100% biodegradable & compostable smart phone case range is the evolutionary step forward. They have been the first in the industry to revolutionize fashion to become “ECO.” They’re the only brand using 100% biodegradable eco-friendly premium leather for cases and functional folios. All their trendy printed fashion cases feature natural bio-inks.
This collection is completely plastic-free, natural and made from plants and plant elements. Pure and protective, with designs available in a wide spectrum of colours and fashion prints. The Uunique Nutrisiti leather series, features the ground-breaking world’s first 100% biodegradable leather.
For United by Blue, creating hard-wearing and handsome-as-hell apparel is just one part of the mission — the other half is a story of sustainability. For instance, they use organic textiles wherever they can, and remove a pound of trash from the world’s oceans and waterways for each product they sell.
Over the years that’s added up to more than 1 million lbs. of trash and counting — definitely no small feat. For their latest collection, the UBB team perfectly unlocks the happy medium between rugged good looks and sweat-fighting performance. Dig in deep and you’ll find quick-drying fabrics that’re always down for a day hike or a swim, wrapped in a package that looks straight out of a vintage outdoor catalog.
