Sustainability

We must take care of our environment. When selecting our suppliers and partners, we attach particular importance to sustainability. Stadtlandkind stands for a conscious and diligent handling of natural resources. Wherever possible, we try to avoid unnecessary transport routes within our logistics processes and thus promote environmental protection.

Climate Partner

We are a company with a financial climate contribution

Since 2020, we have been recording our CO2 emissions together with ClimatePartner and calculating our carbon footprint. Wherever possible, we avoid and reduce these CO2 emissions, for example with reusable packaging solutions such as the Kickbag or by avoiding unnecessary transport routes and reducing packaging material. We regularly update our carbon footprint and thus have an overview of the success of our measures.
We finance certified climate protection projects in the amount of the remaining CO2 emissions. In this way, we offset unavoidable CO2 emissions elsewhere - for example with reforestation measures or the replacement of climate-damaging technologies with renewable alternatives. You can find more information about our climate protection project here. By labeling our products with the independent «financial climate contribution» label, we enable consumers to track this financing and find out more about the climate protection project. In this way, we contribute to the greatest possible transparency about our climate protection measures.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS)

The Global Recycled Standard is managed by the non-profit organisation Textile Exchange.

Aim/focus: The aim of the Global Recycled Standard (GRS) is to increase the amount of recycled material in a product. The standard allows companies to record the exact amount of recycled material in a product and track it through the production chain. The GRS also includes requirements on the additives used in GRS products as well as guidelines on environmental management and corporate social responsibility. The traceability of goods and transparency in the production chain is achieved with the help of the overarching Content Claim Standard (CCS). The GRS logo may be used if a product consists of at least 50 percent recycled materials.

Pro Clima

We ship climate-neutral

As of 1 January 2020, we are sending all deliveries and returns within Switzerland in a climate neutral manner. With this voluntary additional contribution, the CO2 emissions of a delivery are compensated or neutralised by planting a tree or investing in alternative and environmentally friendly forms of transport.

OEKO-TEX® STANDARD100

Tested for harmful substances and therefore harmless to health

If a textile article has been awarded the STANDARD 100 label, you can be sure that all components of this article, i.e. also all threads, buttons and other accessories, have been tested for harmful substances and the article is therefore harmless to health. The testing is carried out by our independent OEKO-TEX® institutes on the basis of our comprehensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog. In the testing procedure, they take into account numerous substances, both regulated and non-regulated, that could be harmful to human health. In many cases, the limit values set for STANDARD 100 exceed national and international specifications. The criteria catalog is updated at least once a year and expanded to include new scientific findings or legal requirements.

Kickbag

Reuse to Reduce

The Kickbag is a reusable, flexible bag made of recycled PET with a Velcro closure. The robust, weatherproof and durable Kickbag can be used instead of disposable packaging for shipping almost all products. The bag and shipping are climate-neutral (the emissions of the Kickbag are balanced and 100% offset with climate protection projects), and recycled raw materials are used for the most part in the production. With the Kickbag, the St.Gallen-based companies Stadtlandkind.ch and Stoff&so can significantly reduce their CO2 emissions compared to conventional packaging material. Kickbag GmbH was founded in July 2020. The main shareholding is held by Tobias Zingg, co-founder of the Swiss online concept store Stadtlandkind.ch, and Mariella Huber, co-founder of the online fabric retailer Stoff&so. Based on their many years of experience in e-commerce, they looked for sustainable solutions and developed the Kickbag as an innovative, environmentally friendly alternative to disposable packaging.

Less Waste

Together we are greener

For ecological reasons we will stop using unnecessary packaging material in the future. With our own label "less waste" we want to create awareness for unnecessary packaging material which ends up in the bin anyways. Additionally, we want to reduce package enclosures whenever possible.

Leaders for Climate Action

We are living in a period with record temperatures, water shortages leading to crop failures, deforestation, species extinction, weather extremes, and climate refugees displaced by drought and flood. This cannot go on - we must set a course for living in harmony within the boundaries of nature.

We believe that the world has to be and also can be completely powered by renewable energies by 2050 - and in some regions as soon as 2030 - and that this has to be done on the basis of a circular economy, in which there will be reusable resources, shared goods, and hardly any waste. Our planet is rich with abundant nature, clean water, and vital resources, all of which are essential for the survival of future generations.

FSC

Promoting environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests - that is the mission of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Worldwide. The independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization was founded in 1994 as an outcome of the "Environment and Development" conference in Rio de Janeiro. Today, the FSC has national working groups in more than 80 countries. The FSC label on a wood or paper product is a clear indicator that the product originates from responsible forest management - products bearing the FSC label ensure that forests are used in accordance with the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations. In addition, the label ensures that the product has not been mixed with non-certified, i.e. non-controlled, wood or paper on its way to the consumer throughout the entire processing and trade chain. Behind the FSC label is a consistently reliable process: ten principles and 56 indicators have been developed on which the globally valid FSC standards for forest management are based. Forests that are managed according to these standards can acquire the FSC certificate. Consumers who buy FSC products make an active contribution to the sustainable management of forests around the world. The FSC also provides transparency, trademark assurance and advisory services to companies and organizations interested in good forest management.
