Sustainability and Ethics

ETHICS

The current Solomon Street range uses a cotton/linen blend fabric, an organic cotton jersey, and recycled nylon (Econyl), they are all digitally printed in Melbourne by next state, and Ethical Clothing Australia accredited Printer. The clothes are cut and sewn by me in my retail space/workshop, with the exception of the stretch garments which are cut and sewn in an Ethical Clothing Australia accredited factory north of Adelaide.

 

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability as a part of general business activity is a huge priority for our team. We believe that changes that just one person; one business makes, do contribute to the health of our world.  All our packaging is plastic free, with the vast majority being biodegradable. All our products are sent in home compostable ComPOST Packs we use biodegradable sticky tape, recycled paper etc. In the workshop, all our offcuts are taken to be recycled and made into new clothes, and any large offcuts we use to make the top knots. Within the retail space, waste is kept to a minimum, but any that does come into the business is separated into the following categories and disposed of accordingly. 

Paper and Cardboard Recycling

Soft Plastic 'Redcycle'

Textile offcuts

Fresh Compost

Dry Compost

10c deposit recycling

non paper and cardboard recycling
