At Lust for Cycling we truly make an effort in trying to be as sustainable as possible, below you can read (some) of the efforts we make:
Packaging.
- All casual items are packed in biodegradable plastics, meaning that once they are exposed to sunlight & oxygen, a biodegration process will start.
- We try to fit as much items in the plastic packaging as possible. This way we aim to reduce the amount of plastics used.
- We try to send every order in the best fitting package. Transporting air is a waste.
Products.
- All cotton items are made from organically grown cotton. Organic cotton needs far less water to grow, ánd no harmful chemicals are used.
- All Polyester items ,or items that contain a percentage of it, are made from recycled polyester. Recycled polyester is created by re-using PET bottles and creating a fibre out of them. This way there’s no need for the creation of new Polyester.
- We try to create all designs using the most environment friendly materials within their product group. This is why our prints are made from water based inks or oil based ones with a eco certificate.
Made in a fair way.
Most of our items have the Fair Wear certificate, meaning that they were made by employees that are well taken care of. They get a fair wage and good working conditions in a clean and modern factory.
