SUSTAINABILITY

PROJECT GREEN

When we catch a wave or snowboard through fresh powder, we feel incredibly close to nature. Although nature still gives us so much joy, we also see that this playground, our home, is under threat. Every winter, we see glaciers shrink and unfortunately, we also know what it’s like to surf in plastic soup.

More than ever, we appreciate all what mother earth has to offer and we feel the responsibility to take care of this playground. Therefore, we try to do as much as possible, as a company, to work more sustainable and minimize our impact on the environment.

 Every year, we aim to develop our collections greener than before and we try to work as much as possible with sustainable resources. We have looked into every single detail of our work processes and found solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle. 

REDUCE

We limit our carbon footprint and reduce the use of irresponsible materials as much as possible. We reduce the use of water and chemicals in our production processes, the amount of samples, the amount of hang tags on each product, shipments by combining deliveries as much as possible, and so on.

RE-USE

Reusing materials involves our whole supply chain. We reuse cardboard boxes coming from our suppliers in our logistic centre, but also reuse left-over fabrics or materials, such as zippers, in our production processes.   

RECYCLE

Recycling involves every aspect in our businesses. 65% of our collection is now made from recycled materials. But we also recycle boxes in our warehouse, use recycled materials in our packaging and recycle paper waste at our office.

OUR PRODUCT

Every year, we aim to develop our collections greener than before and we try to work as much as possible with sustainable resources. We have looked into every single detail of our work processes and found solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle.

We choose low-impact and responsibly sourced materials

We give a product a sustainable label when the main fabric/source of a product is made from sustainable material. This also means that the main fabric, organic cotton or recycled polyester/polyamide in our case, should be at least 50% of the total product.

Swim- and snow wear are our main product groups, so we will have a closer look upon these categories:

Swimwear

All mix and match bikinis are made from recycled polyester, and most bikini paddings contain a certified OEKOTEX label. 

9% of the total SS23 collection
65% contains a recycled material

Snowwear

The majority of our snow jackets and snow pants has a recycled insulation. Also focus is to increase the percentage of using a recycled outer shell.

58% of the total FW23 collection 
35% contains recycled material and recycled padding 
71% contains recycled padding

Swimshorts and Boardshorts

All boardshorts are made from recycled polyester and the CrunECO, our best-selling short, which is available in more than 18 colours is made from recycled sources.

54% of the total SS23 collection
99% contains a recycled material 

OUR COMPANY

LET'S TAKE CARE OF OUR PLAYGROUND

SUSTAINABILITY

OUR COMPANY

Energy Efficiency

The Brunotti HQ only uses LED lighting and economic fluorescent beams. Each department has its own central light circuit and specific areas have motion detectors. We only use green energy generated by wind farms.

Workspace

We try to limit the usage of resources in our working processes. All paper is FSC certified and we minimize the use of our printers, we have a ‘’think before you ink’’ policy and donate our empty cartridges to the ‘’Cliniclowns’’ fund. We limit the capacity of screens, laptops, and phones.

Warehouse

Our warehouse is C02 neutral. Electricity is generated by 3.000 solar panels that were installed in 2018. We generate so much solar energy that we give energy back to the network. The warehouse uses LED lightning and is heated by a wood chip stove.

Marketing Materials

Marketing materials, such as displays or sign cards, are made from FSC paper or recycled cardboard.

Packaging

We limit the impact of our packaging in different ways. We ship everything in bulk packaging, so less packaging is needed. We reuse all the boxes in our warehouse which are coming from the manufacturer. All polybags are made from recycled plastic and our new boxes to the end-consumer are made from FSC cardboard or 100% recycled cardboard.

Waste

Every desk has its own recycling bins (paper and waste) and paper is 100% recycled by Remondis.
