REUSING PLASTICS

The recycled polyester in our garments comes from post-consumer materials.

We are giving plastic a new lease of life, by reprocessing it into recycled for our Onna garments. This means less extraction of raw materials and diverts plastic waste from landfill. Our postconsumer recycled plastic comes from a mix of sources including PET plastic bottles, ocean waste, packaging waste, and discarded polyester textiles.

The recycled polyester we use in our Onna garments is certified to the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and/ the Recycled Claim Standard (RCS).

SOCIAL COMPLIANCE

The people who make our garments work in factories that are audited to internationally recognised ethical standards which allows us to have transparency on our supply chain and ensure our standards are met and maintained.

We believe that all our employees and those in our supply chain deserve respect and are entitled to fair and proper working conditions, with fair wages, balanced working hours, decent working conditions and no discrimination.

We assess social audit reports from our factories to determine how and where we can support our them to improve the standards in their factories.

• We are members of Amfori BSCI.
• Some of our factories certified to the WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) Standard.

PRODUCT SAFETY

We care about the safety of our products for both our customers people who handle our product within our supply chain which is why our Onna products are certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 where possible. Having Oeko-Tex Standard 100 ensures when products are handled, they are safe on the skin.

BETTER PACKAGING

As a company, we launched a project in 2023 to reduce packaging. Our aim is to reduce the amount of waste from our packaging throughout our value chain. We are excited to see where we can make our reductions. We have an ambitious target of reducing our plastic packaging by 50%.

As well as this, we are happy to report on our 2020 project. We have been working to increase the recycled material content within single unit plastic packaging and can share our progress.

As a company, our targets are to achieve:

• 100% recycled content within plastic packaging
• Reduce all packaging by 50%
• Report on FSC and recycled paper packaging by 2025
• Report on all our packaging by 2025
