Sustainability Commitment
Sustainability is not merely a destination but a continuous journey - one that we at Arctic Eco-Sno embrace wholeheartedly. Despite the shortcuts offered by the fast fashion industry, we have committed ourselves to a different path. From our inception, we've prioritised eco-friendly materials, ethical manufacturing, and community engagement.
Our mission is to empower outdoor enthusiasts with confidence by providing sustainable, high-quality layers that ensure every adventure leaves a positive footprint.
With every order placed, 1kg of plastic waste is cleaned up and recycled, and 1 tree is planted.
Plastic Cleanup
In our effort to reduce plastic waste, we've partnered with a robust plastic cleanup programme. This initiative serves as a proactive measure to offset our material consumption during production. Our goal is not only to minimise our plastic footprint but also to exceed it by recycling more material than we produce.
We have partnered with Empower to become ‘plastic positive’
As a leading global plastic cleanup charity, Empower advocates for giving plastic a tangible value. By empowering local communities to collect and recycle plastic, they establish sustainable economies and provide livelihoods for countless individuals worldwide.
Track your impact with Technology
Through the clever integration of blockchain technology, you are able to track the tangible impact of your contribution. With your continued support, plastic cleanups will take place worldwide, including countries such as Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Rwanda, South Sudan and Bali. Upon your purchase, expect updates detailing the specific cleanup efforts you've helped fund.
Enabling local communities to earn a sustainable living
Thanks to your support, local communities can now earn a sustainable living while positively transforming the landscapes around them. By providing impoverished countries with opportunities to earn a sustainable living, we're not just cleaning up the environment; we're also uplifting economies and empowering individuals to build better futures.
Certified Recycled Materials
At Arctic Eco-Sno, we prioritise using GRS® certified recycled materials in our manufacturing processes. By incorporating these recycled materials into our products and packaging, we not only reduce waste but also breathe new life into existing resources. This helps us foster a circular economy that is sustainable and environmentally conscious.
Sustainable Base Layers
Our base layer collections have already repurposed approximately 78,000 recycled plastic bottles, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability. Each base layer is a testament to our dedication to protecting the planet.
Recycled Packaging
We're committed to sustainability in every aspect of our business, including our packaging. We use recycled mailing bags and packaging to reduce waste and champion eco-conscious practices. Every package we send is a step towards a greener future.
Ethical Manufacturing and Social Responsibility
We deeply care about people too. Our code of conduct ensures that everyone in our supply chain is treated with respect, receives fair wages, and works in safe conditions. We prioritise personally engaging with our factories, ensuring that human welfare is always at the forefront of our operations.
Partnering with ISO 45001 and SA8000 certified factories aligns with our values, reflecting our dedication to ethical manufacturing practices and social responsibility. Through independent audits and certifications, we uphold globally recognised standards, guaranteeing transparency and accountability in every step of our supply chain.
At Arctic Eco-Sno, every purchase you make supports not just sustainability but also the well-being of the people who bring our products to life.
Reforestation
Together, we're turning over a new leaf with every tree we plant
At Arctic Eco-Sno, we're committed to making a positive impact on the environment, which is why we've partnered with the Eden Project. Through this collaboration, our reforestation efforts extend beyond simply planting trees - they contribute to the revival of natural habitats, improve coral reef health, support local livelihoods, and aid in the fight against climate change by extracting CO2 from the air. With each tree planted, we're not only offsetting carbon emissions but also actively working towards restoring ecosystems and fostering biodiversity. Join us in this collective effort to turn over a new leaf and create a more sustainable world, one tree at a time.
Our Commitments
Arctic Eco-Sno is dedicated to making a positive impact, starting with planting a tree for every order and a commitment to cleaning up and recycling 1kg of plastic with every order. That's why we've partnered with both the Eden Project to plant trees and Empower to become plastic positive. This enhances our efforts to inspire individuals to embark on their own adventures while championing the preservation of our planet - a crucial step in combating rising temperatures and climate change.
Our goals include:
• Planting 10,000 trees by 2026, which will absorb 3000 tonnes of CO2 over their lifetime.
• Cleaning up and recycling 10,000 kgs of plastic by 2026, equivalent to 2 million plastic bottles.
• Achieve B Corp certification by 2026.
• Working towards circular fashion to ensure everything keeps going round and round through, repairs, resales and recycling inititives.
• Joining forces with more environment organisations to push our sustainability efforts further.
Join Us on Our Sustainability Journey
While we acknowledge that our efforts alone won't solve the climate crisis, we see sustainability as an ongoing journey. We're committed to continuous learning and growth, seizing each new challenge as an opportunity to uncover innovative solutions. Join us on this journey towards a greener, more sustainable future.
