What makes a brand sustainable?

There are several aspects that can make a brand be considered sustainable, here are some of them:

1. Sustainable materials: Sustainable brands use materials that are renewable, recycled or biodegradable. In addition, these materials are produced responsibly and respect workers' labor rights.

2. Responsible production processes: Sustainable brands ensure that their production processes are responsible with regard to the environment and labor rights. This can include the use of renewable energy, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, proper waste management, among others.

3. Fair Trade: Sustainable brands work with suppliers and manufacturers who respect the labor rights of their workers and pay them fair wages.

4. Transparency and traceability: Sustainable brands are transparent about their production practices and processes, and make efforts to ensure the traceability of their products from their origin to their final destination.

5. Long-lasting design and quality: Sustainable brands focus on the design and quality of their products to ensure they last a long time and don't quickly become waste.

In short, a sustainable brand is concerned with producing and offering products and services that are respectful of the environment, labor rights, and society at large. If you are interested in supporting sustainable brands, be sure to research their practices and products before purchasing.

Why is Quelton a sustainable brand?

Being a sustainable brand is one of the main concerns for companies and people today. At Quelton, even though we are a small brand, we care about the environment and we keep this need in mind in all processes:

• Our fabrics are recycled or reused: We pay attention to the composition of our fabrics so that they are recycled with plastics found in the sea. We also optimize every meter of fabric we buy and reuse those left over to make new bikinis.

• We make bikinis by hand in Spain: Under no circumstances do we work with workshops where women or children are exploited. We have an excellent relationship with our workshop that respects the labor rights of workers.

• Low-fashion production process: We choose the best fabrics and manufacturing processes, which is why our garments have the highest quality and durability. In addition, we do not produce in mass because we do it in a conscious way to avoid them ending up in the trash.

• Packaging of orders: We avoid using extra plastic and paper in our daily work. Since last year, we decided to invest in reusable packaging made of fabric. That's why, when you buy one of our products, you will receive a fabric bag to take to the beach.

• We collaborate with an NGO: When you buy one of our products, you can donate part of the money to the NGO One Tree Planted , which is responsible for rebuilding forests to regenerate oxygen.
