The fashion industry is one of the most polluting...
One of Waïloa's objectives is to help you consume better and understand why you should be careful about what you buy. As a young company, we are constantly looking for solutions for improvement. The first that we put in place is the selection of our factories, our fibers and our labels.
Each product sheet includes the labels or certifications of each product (if it benefits from labels or certifications) in order to best guide you in your choices.
To support you in this “ Buy less, choose well, make it last ” (cc Vivienne Westood) approach, we invite you to discover below the labels and certifications from which Waïloa benefits.
Zero waste company
In 2022, Waïloa obtains its first official label and can be rewarded for its efforts. Please note, this label does not mean that we have no waste. It is an operation which consists of promoting, by obtaining the “ Zero Waste Company ” brand, companies which implement concrete actions allowing the reduction of waste . At Waïloa, we sort our waste, we reuse fabric scraps to make bows for children, for example. Our tags are seeded and can be planted to grow beautiful daisies. We offer washable cottons to encourage our consumers to reduce their waste. Our packaging is made of kraft, cardboard or corn starch.
