Nos engagements : Pour un monde sans plastique.

Our commitments: For a world without plastic.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS AT THE HEART OF OUR APPROACH

RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING

At Oceansrespect, we work closely with our suppliers to source only the best raw materials, grown or produced in a way that does not harm people, animals or the environment.

We work with the Forrest Stewardship Council (FSC) and support our partners' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy to ensure the sustainable cultivation of natural bamboo forests and the safety of our workers.

We guarantee decent working conditions through the implementation of certain mechanisms such as an internal Code of Conduct, monthly reports and regular visits to our partner factories.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS LIMITED TO THE STRICT MINIMUM

Although we strongly favor local production and the cleanest production possible, some of the products or the materials used to manufacture them nevertheless come from Asia. Their transport to France therefore seems anything but ecological.

However, we use different processes to significantly reduce the impact of these imports on the environment and have a minimal carbon footprint.

Indeed, we practice sharing containers in order to use their smallest spaces. They would have remained unused without the addition of our products whose small volume allows them to be integrated into very small spaces.

We use rail transport and not air freight which is much more polluting. Rail transport takes longer but its environmental footprint is extremely small.

Our products are shipped in recycled paper envelopes or in completely plastic-free upcycled boxes. Our deliveries are carbon neutral thanks to our partner, La Poste, which is committed to the neutrality of its carbon footprint for the delivery of mail and parcels.

A REDUCTION OF WASTE

All our products are sold either in bulk or packaged in 100% recycled cardboard. Printing with water-based ink certified by the OEKO-TEX ECO-PASSEPORT guarantees its perfect biodegradability. It can be thrown away with your other organic waste.

We do not use any plastic at any time in our production chain and for the delivery of our products.

Regarding wastewater, all our partner factories are equipped with effluent treatment plants which eliminate toxic substances present in the water and thus allow its reuse.

OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT IS NEGATIVE!

Acting for the climate means first identifying and then reducing the greenhouse gases that we emit on a daily basis and on which we can act at the source.

At the same time, carbon offsetting makes it possible to act on the share of incompressible greenhouse gas emissions that we cannot or do not yet know how to reduce satisfactorily, by supporting environmental and social field projects.

The carbon footprint of our company is eco-compensated, in particular thanks to the implementation of concrete actions on the ground, carried out by us or our partners, such as cleaning coastlines, planting trees or financing various eco-responsible initiatives around the world.

PROUD TO BE COMMITTED TO THE PLANET!

In order to protect our oceans, we are committed to donating 4% of our turnover to non-profit organizations committed to protecting the environment.
