Sustainability

We use plant-based materials and fibers such as cotton, linen, and man-made cellulosics such as viscose, Tencel and modal. The fibers are certified as compostable and biodegradable, which means they can fully revert back to nature. We ensure we use fabrics that have the least environmental impact. We try to be more aware of where the materials are coming from and what they’re made of.

We are GOTS certified and compliant. GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including compliance with ecological and social criteria of the entire textile supply chain. We use organic cotton. Cotton from Better Cotton Initiative as well as upcycled cotton.

We use Tencel lyocell. Derived from sustainable wood sources, all TENCEL Lyocell fibres are certified as biodegradable and compostable as they can fully revert to nature resulting in a minimal footprint.

We are GRS (Global Recycle Standard) certified. GRS is a voluntary product standard for tracking and verifying the content of recycled materials, social and environmental practices and ensures chemical restrictions in the final product.

We use Polyester for some of our garments which is created by melting down plastic waste and respun into new polyester fibre.

We stand for mindful consumption, an extended product life cycle and a commitment to avoid overproduction. We believe in constantly reusing the raw material we have left over during production. We make to order and produce small quantities with high quality to ensure durability and discourage fast fashion. Sweetlime makes use of repurposed and reusable packaging. The packaging is less wasteful and reusable.

Fabric, trims, labels, threads, buttons, zippers and even packaging are all tested for harmful chemicals. We ensure none of these have a negative impact on you or the environment. Most of these are up-cycled and all produced locally in India.
