PLANET
Thread & Tonic are in the process of measuring, tracking, and accounting for their scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. They currently offset the CO2 that is released through the making of their bags. They aim to use renewable energy sources wherever possible, and all bags are produced in a factory which is fully solar powered. We’d like to see more detail on their emissions and a clearer breakdown of what their offset covers. Thread & Tonic have developed PURE LEATHER™ without any chrome or harmful chemicals that pollute waterways and going beyond the Leather Working Group’s standards.
PEOPLE
Thread & Tonic have launched their own foundation to give back to both the planet and the people the brand relies on. They donate through 1% For the Planet.
ANIMALS
Thread & Tonic use leather that is a by-product of the meat industry. They have also partnered with NFW’s high-performance plant-based material with zero-plastic and 100% natural ingredients. Their next collection will be created using MIRUM®'s unique composition of zero synthetics made from all-natural materials (coconut husk, rice hull, rubber, and cork). The patented composition means a product can be recycled at the end of its life, making it both sustainable and circular.
BUSINESS
Thread & Tonic provide some information on their website about their current sustainability policies and practices and their aims for the future. We would like to see some more detail and also an annual impact report from them to increase their transparency. We like that they offer a lifetime warranty that covers repairs, rather than simply replacing faulty products.
