Of the 1 billion items of clothing made each year, almost 40% of all production is never utilised. This means a dump truck of textiles waste goes straight to landfill, every second. And when you think about it, climate change is because of stuff like this. CO2 pollution occurs as part of the process of making things.<\/p>

That's why we make things differently. Our products and packaging are made from natural materials, not plastic.\u00a0Every product we make is designed to be sent back to us when it is worn out - we make new products from the material we recover, so the cycle itself is renewable.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

The Teemill factory<\/u> is powered by renewable energy. The Sun powers the machines that make our products in real time, in the seconds after they're ordered. We only make what people need, when they need it.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Instead of making more things and hoping for change, we exist to change the way things are made. That's what sustainability means to us. So why plant trees too? As we can, the better question is why would we not?<\/p>

\"\"

<\/p>

To make sure our planting efforts are as effective as possible, we partner with various tree-planting projects and organisations. Most of them are international, where we can have the biggest impact.<\/p>

So far our partnerships have mostly contributed to projects that have reforested large areas of Madagascar.<\/p>

Brands like Silly Sausages using Teemill planted tens of thousands of trees in the first month of this campaign launching, offsetting the same amount of carbon used to charge your phone something like 4 million times.<\/p>

These trees help keep the Madagascan coastline stable, diversifying and restoring the natural balance of nature, preserving the environment for native species and ecosystems. The project also offers long-term employment to local communities and improves the livelihood for local workers.<\/p>
