Eleven O One: A Commitment to Sustainability
At Eleven O One, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a forward-thinking brand, we have embraced innovative practices to ensure our operations contribute positively to the environment and society. Here are the key pillars of our sustainability journey:
1. Sustainable Fabrics:
We prioritize the use of eco-friendly materials such as Ecovero viscose and BCI (Better Cotton Initiative) cottons. Ecovero viscose is derived from certified renewable wood sources and produced with significantly lower environmental impact compared to conventional viscose. Similarly, BCI cotton ensures sustainable farming practices that minimize water usage, promote soil health, and support farmers’ livelihoods.
2. Reducing Waste Through Fabric Sourcing:
In our effort to combat waste, we source leftover fabrics from larger production houses. By repurposing these materials, we not only reduce the generation of textile waste but also create unique designs that resonate with our philosophy of conscious fashion. This practice allows us to transform what could have been discarded into sustainable pieces.
3. Minimal Use of Plastics:
We have taken significant steps to eliminate plastics across our processes. From packaging to product tags, we employ biodegradable or recyclable alternatives, ensuring that our footprint on the planet is as light as possible. By committing to negligible plastic use, we contribute to the reduction of non-biodegradable waste in the environment.
4. Ethical Business Practices:
At Eleven O One, we are dedicated to maintaining ethical business standards. This includes providing free and fair wages to all our workers, fostering healthy working conditions, and upholding transparency in our operations. Our commitment to ethical practices ensures that everyone involved in our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect.
5. Recyclable Packaging Materials:
We use recyclable materials for our packaging, including butter paper made from recycled paper and recyclable tamper-proof bags. These choices reflect our dedication to reducing environmental impact while delivering high-quality products to our customers in a sustainable manner.
6. Sourcing from Ethical Businesses:
Our supply chain is built on partnerships with ethical businesses that share our values. By collaborating with like-minded suppliers, we ensure that every aspect of our production process aligns with our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility.
Our vision at Eleven O One goes beyond creating fashion; it is about setting an example for how a brand can thrive while being kind to the planet and its people. Through these conscious efforts, we aim to inspire a more sustainable and equitable future for the fashion industry.
