Eco-friendly impact
People and the Planet are the foundation of their existence. The brand cares for all its employees and suppliers, and does everything it can to protect and preserve the environment in all its actions. Indeed, 1 People is committed to not polluting with urban waste, ensuring that its business and products are not a danger to people, animals, or the environment. It chooses manufacturers that manage their waste and aim to recycle more than they consume.
The brand's values:
Its packaging boxes are made from recycled paper.
1 People collects all its fabric scraps in-house and from its manufacturers. When there is a sufficient quantity, they are sent by color to a re-spinning factory in Java, Indonesia, to produce new yarns and fabrics.
All products are delivered in a signature 1 People box, which can then be reused to store all types of items. The box and cards with instructions are made from recycled paper and natural dyes by a small factory in Bali. The logo stickers are made from biodegradable paper by a sustainable factory in the United Kingdom.
The brand chooses manufacturers that aim to reduce the use of harmful chemicals.
1 People cares about all its customers. That is why it carefully selects its partners and ensures that its employees' working conditions are exemplary.
