Utilizing better packaging options, responsibly sourced and disposable either in organic ways or fully recyclable

Purchasing items in better packaging options, responsibly sourced and disposable either in organic ways or by recycling them, helps cut energy needs and the waste of raw resources such as oil and coal. This creates a direct contribution towards positive environmental impact.

Recycling is the process of transforming waste into something new. It is extremely important to divert waste from being dumped with the risk of remaining on Earth for a variably lengthy amount of time. Zero waste is the goal

Recycling is the process of transforming waste into something new. It is extremely important to divert waste from being dumped with the risk of remaining on Earth for a variably lengthy amount of time. Not only recycling can prevent the waste, it also helps make better use of useful materials and it reduces the consumption of fresh raw materials, thereby reducing: energy usage, air and water pollution, contributing to a healthier Planet. 

Reducing the carbon footprint of the product by using better materials and processes during production. Saving on emissions is a really important step in the path towards carbon neutrality and positive impact

The fashion we buy can make a big contribution to climate change. Reducing the carbon footprint of the single product by using better materials and processes during production contributes to saving on emissions. This is a really important step in the path towards carbon neutrality and positive impact on the Planet. The topic of lowering emissions is specific for products made with materials such as Ecovero and processes.

A movement to rediscover the value of clothing. Contrary to fast fashion, slow brands produce fewer collections yearly which have deeper meaning and connections with those who buy them. Find the pleasure of clothing made with integrity and style

A movement to rediscover the value of clothing. Contrary to fast fashion, slow brands produce fewer collections yearly which have deeper meaning and connections with those who buy them. By supporting these brands, you can embrace the philosophy of quality pieces carefully designed and thought after. Making deliberately less drops allows brands to think more carefully about the collection and avoid frequent discounts that chasing fast trends brings along. You can find the pleasure of clothing made with integrity and style by choosing to be slow in your shopping, too. 
 We consider slow fashion those brands who integrate this idea in their brand ethos and deliberately produce fewer collections.

Less than 3% of the ocean is effectively protected. Contributing to causes that help achieve the final goal of protecting the ocean needed to safeguard marine biodiversity and build ocean resilience

Less than 3% of the ocean is effectively protected. The save the oceans topic identifies with brands contributing to causes that help achieve the final goal of protecting the big waters. These are needed to safeguard marine biodiversity and build ocean resilience. From Marine Conservation Institute to Hawaii Wildlife Fund, discover products and brands through whom you can give back to these causes.

Built by a single designer or small team, shopping small, mission-driven businesses is a sustainable value on its own. It ensures equal opportunities and possibilities to realize individual’s dreams

Built by a single designer or small team, shopping small, mission-driven businesses is a sustainable value on its own. It ensures equal opportunities and possibilities to realize individual’s dreams. 
 When you purchase from a small brand it's more as if you are purchasing from a person, gifting them the joy of someone appreciating their work. 

Reducing the amount of water needed during production by using better materials and processes that optimise consumption

Reducing the amount of water needed during production by using better materials and processes that optimise consumption. 
 From the moment in which cotton is grown until the dying process, creating a pair of jeans, for example, can take 11,000 liters of water, which are almost 200 showers for even a conscious person, or 6 and half years of drinking water! Discover products and brands that optimize processes or use more efficient materials such as hemp, linen or Tencel™.

The creative re-use of waste materials, useless or unwanted clothes by transforming them into something new and often one-of-a-kind piece

The creative re-use of waste materials, useless or unwanted clothes by transforming them into something new. Products that are upcycled are often one-of-a-kind unique pieces. This is a great way to develop a personal style and find products that have an artistic relevance. Upcycling is sometimes also called "Trashion" when it involves transforming what would have been "trash clothing" into quality fashion. This is why upcycling is a great way to avoid materials going to waste. On Renoon you can discover small brands and designers that use deadstock fabrics: leftovers from big production that are saved by re-using them.

Production of organic materials sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people by using natural processes rather than artificial ones. The standards do not allow the use of toxic chemicals or GMOs with an impact on the food system, too. Organic cotton for example uses less water (up to 91% saving) and energy than conventional. The global warming potential of organic cotton is also 46% lower

Production of organic materials sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people by using natural processes rather than artificial ones. The standards do not allow the use of toxic chemicals or GMOs with an impact on the food system, too. 
 Organic cotton for example uses less water (up to 91% saving) and energy than conventional. The global warming potential of organic cotton is also 46% lower. Within Renoon a product is considered to be organic if it contains at least 50% organic certified materials; the product is also shown on Renoon if the other part of the composition is made with sustainable alternative materials for a total of at least 90%.

Renoon considers vintage an item that is between 15 and 100 years old and is very curated. The difference between a vintage piece and a simple second-hand one is that vintage is very carefully selected

Our society has still a great gap to fill in achieving gender equality in many aspects. You can support the transition by shopping for women-led brands or labels who have special and relevant projects on the topic

Our society has still a great gap to fill in achieving gender equality in many aspects. You can support the transition by shopping for women-led brands or labels who have special and relevant projects on the topic both in developed countries, as well as underdeveloped ones, providing for schooling and other women empowered initiatives.

Forests purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, prevent erosion, and act as an important player towards climate transition. To responsibly manage the world's forests we can purchase items made with alternative materials such as Tencel™ and FSC certified

Forests purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, prevent erosion, and act as an important player towards climate transition. To responsibly manage the world's forests we can purchase items made with alternative materials such as Tencel™ and FSC certified. 
 Tencel™ for example is the sustainable alternative to viscose; made from dissolving pulp in a closed loop system. 

Conventional production might involve many harmful chemicals that are not good for our skin and the environment. Modern techniques are used to detox products from harmful substances

Conventional production might involve many harmful chemicals that are not good for our skin and the environment. Modern techniques are used to detox products from harmful substances. Certifications ensure that products and brands not only adhere to the standards regulated by the government, but are going above and beyond. This further strengthens the commitment towards the protection of waters and our overall environment.

Ethical and responsible standards related to products derived by animals, such as leather and wool, ensure no harm is done in the process

Ethical and responsible standards related to products derived by animals, such as leather and wool, ensure no harm is done in the process. Specifically, products that are made with wool carry certifications that ensure that the animal has been treated according to the five elements of freedom: healthy diet and fresh water are provided, shelter and resting areas at the right temperatures, too; animals are vaccinated, monitored and treated with cures promptly, as well as provided with sufficient space together with of others of their kind, leading to mental health. 
 When it comes to leather materials, associations and organizations adhere to higher standards for the methods in which leather is sourced and processed. 
 Other ways you can access leather-made products in sustainable and eco-friendly ways is by going for upcycled products, made with leftover leather, or recycled ones.

Instead of chasing trends, timeless pieces ensure enduring styles that remain relevant over time. Timeless staples are key elements in creating a capsule wardrobe, with versatile pieces that can be used frequently but can last forever

Instead of chasing trends, timeless pieces ensure enduring styles that remain relevant over time. Timeless staples are key elements in creating a capsule wardrobe, with versatile pieces that can be used frequently but can last forever. 
 The idea behind a capsule wardrobe is to select 30-40 well-fitting items you will wear all season (including accessories). It’s not about how many items are in your closet, but rather being thoughtful about how they all work together cohesively. You can call it a “mini wardrobe” made up of high quality, versatile clothes that never go out of style. 

Giving back to environmental causes as an organization taking responsibility for business decisions

Earth's climate has changed throughout history. However, the current trends, as a result from human activities, are proceeding at a rate never seen before. You can be part of a positive climate transition by choosing brands that have made it a core value and are engaged in initiatives, certifications and organizations related to the topic. By visiting the brand's page on the app you can read multiple ways a brand can support the cause, from being a B certified corporation to devoting 1% of the profits to related initiatives.

Balancing out the emissions of greenhouse gases (among them CO2) and making the final equation of what has been emitted and restored equal to 0

Just by existing, we emit greenhouse gases. Among them, CO2 is the most well known. Going carbon neutral actually means making the final equation of what has been emitted and restored equal to 0. So, how can CO2 be balanced out? For fashion brands or even yourself carbon neutrality can be achieved through reducing emissions (making a phone call instead of jumping on a plane) or offsetting them. Compensating emissions or offsets means funding/paying for emission savings in other parts of the world.  

Supporting the local economy and shortening the processes of production requires less travel resources. Shopping brands who decide to focus their main production in Europe leads to strengthening the area economically

Supporting the local economy and shortening the processes of production requires less travel resources. Shopping brands who decide to focus their main production in Europe leads to strengthening the area economically.

It’s the story behind often that emotionally connects us and can be passed from generation to generation together with the product, preserving its quality. Craftsmanship is linked to human wellbeing because it empowers the creativity of the maker, as well as it builds a stronger emotional connection from you as the shopper with the product itself. That's how the piece suddenly becomes something to cherish and keep for longer.

Whether it is communities in need from other parts of the world, or those around the original country of the brand, supporting them through fashion ensures social responsibility can be merged in the products bought

Whether it is communities in need from other parts of the world, or those around the original country of the brand, supporting them through fashion ensures social responsibility can be merged in the products bought. You can expect brands to work with local communities in Bali or sustain initiatives for creativity in younger people. 

These are materials that innovate on new ways to re-use and re-invent resources for lower impact. Brands that use “materials of the future” of course might take risks in trying the unknown, but the results can be incredibly more responsible and set the basis for a sustainable future

These are materials that innovate on new ways to re-use and re-invent resources for lower impact. Brands that use “materials of the future” of course might take risks in trying the unknown, but the results can be incredibly more responsible and set the basis for a sustainable future. Something very important is that these materials not only are more sustainable options but also maintain or even enhance performances. 
 Discover innovative materials made from waste pineapple leaf fibre, orange scraps, mushrooms or silk woven by spiders instead of worms.

Picking items that have been used by others but are in good-enough shape to be given a second chance. This is a boutique store where you can do so

Picking items that have been used by others but are in good-enough shape to be given a second chance. Thrifting can also be a modern way of life for some of us to help protect sustainability values but also build a unique style. You can discover small boutiques with incredible pre-loved gems and hand-picked items on Renoon. 
 Choosing thrifted pieces can have a great impact on the Planet: if in a city the size of Amsterdam, everyone would shop a second hand item instead of new, it would save 6.2M kg of CO2 and plant 400,000 trees. 

Fashion item that has been created with absolutely no animal products involved at any stage of the production process

Vegan fashion refers to clothing or accessories that have been created with absolutely no animal products involved at any stage of the production process. This means that even the dyes used to color the product or any label/patch does not come from any animal material. Vegan jeans for example, ensure that also the patches with the brand logo are made with non-leather material.

Moving towards a circular economy in which all natural resources are renewed and waste is reused, never piling up. This can be achieved when you choose recycled and recyclable materials and get involved in take back programs

Moving towards a circular economy in which all natural resources are renewed and waste is reused, never piling up. This can be achieved when you choose recycled and recyclable materials and get involved in take back programs. 
 The circular economy is in fact a different approach to the linear one to which we are used to and in which we buy products, use them and then throw them away, becoming garbage. In a circular model, waste becomes a resource and is used again for ideally an infinite amount of times.

It is the variety of life on Earth; it represents the knowledge learned by evolving species over millions of years about how to survive in the continuously changing environment. To restore this “library of life” you can support brands that have a dedicated focus on the topic

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth; it represents the knowledge learned by evolving species over millions of years about how to survive in the continuously changing environment. To restore this “library of life” you can support brands that have a dedicated focus on the topic. 
 At Renoon we consider biodiversity as part of the Animal Ethics impact area as by approaching animal-origin materials in a responsible way, how you buy fashion can contribute to the conservation, restoration and recovery of wildlife, in which animals take a central role. Forget about exhotic animals and endangered speacies: protecting them is part of the basics. More than that brands who focus on the biodiversity topic work with farmers producing fibers who are committed to using regenerative farming.

Manufacturing of an item only begins when your order is received to avoid the creation of excess fashion. An approach that brings positive effects in protecting both the environment and the economy from the waste of mass-production

Being able to trace every detail on all the steps that took to produce a product is an important part of becoming even more precise in knowing exactly what could be done to improve its impact. The digital method of tracking and recording information - known as blockchain - can trace every step of an item’s journey from farmer to you. These technologies require investments and are a great step in a fully transparent direction

 In the future blockchain can also be used to track previous owners of pre-loved items and trace their story. 

Reducing waste by reusing some elements of the product in a more efficient way with detachable elements. Through zips, hooks or eyes you can make the most out of the product by changing it according to your taste over time, but still keeping some parts of it.

 An example are the ACBC shoes on Renoon, which are Zip-Shoes: you can change their look by just zipping on and off the upper layer, without having to buy a whole other shoe.

To responsibly shop wool, it is important to know that the animals have been treated correctly with no harm, that would otherwise derive from the mulesing practice. This is used to create smoother skin, but for the sheep is very dangerous

To responsibly shop wool, it is important to know that the animals have been treated correctly with no harm, that would otherwise derive from the mulesing practice. This is used to create smoother skin, but for the sheep is very dangerous. At Renoon we check certifications and proof from brands that re-assure that wool is mulesing free and animals have been treated fairly.
