General sustainability statement
Sustainability is an important aspect for Dahu Terra. Therefore, at every step we are taking steps to be more environmentally friendly while continuing to offer you the quality products you deserve. In the fashion industry, around 85% of manufactured textile products end up in landfills, which has a great negative impact on the environment. Not only that, but one in five items produced by the fashion industry ends up becoming waste without having been worn even once. Since our concept is to only manufacture pre-order items, in this way we avoid generating unnecessary waste due to overproduction. Our production partner's high-quality technology generates almost no wastewater and uses less energy than industry standards.
Our mission is to make the use of organic clothing normalized and on-demand production the norm for a world with limited resources and unlimited creativity. This goal is ambitious, so we are moving towards it step by step.
Do our products have OEKO-TEX certification?
The OEKO-TEX® certification, one of the leading global seals in terms of textile safety, guarantees that certified products do not contain dangerous chemicals. In addition, the threads we use for embroidery are also certified.
Why choose embroidered garments?
Embroidered designs are stronger than printed designs, which indirectly produces less environmental waste, we embroider our products using Oeko-Tex™ certified threads, so they are safe for children's and adults' clothing.
How does Dahu Terra guarantee the composition of organic or recycled materials in eco-friendly products?
The clothing items in our collection are made with at least 90% organic or recycled materials or mixtures of these materials. To verify the material composition, we request valid certificates from our suppliers: As proof of the organic composition of the clothing, we only accept GOTS or OCS certificates. If these are products with recycled materials, we also accept GRS or RCS certificates.
Certifications:
-
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) : World leading standard in the textile processing of organic fibers.
-
Organic Content Standard (OCS) : Certification of non-food products that confirms the presence of organic material in the final product.
-
Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) : International standards for recycled content and supply chain certification.
Certificates:
Product packaging:
Our garments are packaged in post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR) shipping bags. PCR packaging is made from discarded everyday objects, such as plastic bags and used bottles. This material protects your order just as well as conventional plastic bags, with the difference that opting for PCR compared to newly produced plastics reduces the environmental impact of this material on our planet, since its production requires 3 times less energy and less water than a conventional shipping bag.
Plantable Cards:
They are unique cards made with recycled paper that contain chamomile seeds inside. But here's the exciting part: you can plant them and watch them grow! After enjoying the special message on the card, simply plant it in a pot or in your garden, water gently and you will soon be delighted with beautiful chamomile flowers blooming.
At Dahu Terra, we love to surprise you with special details that go beyond a simple product.
Waste management:
Our manufacturers partner with waste management service providers Geocycle and Martex to manage textile waste at our facilities. On the other hand, whenever possible, we donate damaged and returned products to local charities such as the Red Cross, American Kidney Fund and Goodwill.
