At VÄRLDEN we’re inspired by nature – so we’re keen that the products we sell have as little impact as possible on our lovely planet.
Being an independent company helps – we’re in control of the traders we use and the materials we buy. We research our suppliers to make sure they have the right eco-credentials and we think carefully about the fabrics and inks we use.
Our t-shirts are made from 100% cotton which is biodegradable – a much better option than cheaper materials such as nylon, which sit in landfill for at least 30 years. Our tote bags are 100% organic cotton meaning no pesticides were used in growing the crop. We’re already looking to source organic cotton t-shirts for a new range, so keep your eyes peeled.
All of the inks we use are non-phthalate plastisol which means they’re eco-friendly, so no poisonous chemicals enter the water system during the printing process – happy sea life. All of our products are hand-screen printed too which means we don't use any heavy machinery – no big machines, no big emissions!
Plastic has a huge impact on our environment – that’s why we’re doing our best to source plastic free alternatives where we can. All of our packaging is made from 100% recycled biodegradable material. The polyester used in our jumpers is made from PET reclaimed plastic bottles which reduces waste and will ultimately cut out the need for the virgin polyester industry – good news for the planet!
Let’s not forget the detail - even our delivery slips and VÄRLDEN tags are made from 100% recycled paper, in fact the stamp we use to add our logo to the tags is made using locally sourced refurbished wood so nothing goes to waste!
