Our Sustainability Standards

 

While we value sustainability efforts, we also value progress. We maintain dialogue with each company that we carry to ensure that we are keeping our community up to date on their goals and progress.

 
 

PRODUCT MATERIALS

Plant-Based, Recycled, Plastic-Free, Non-Toxic

We assess and document ingredient and material certifications, such as MADE SAFE, GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), OEKO-TEX Standard 100, USDA Certified BioBased Product and only curate items made of sustainable plant-based or recycled materials that are plastic-free made with non-toxic ingredients.

 

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Give Back Programs, Certifications

We asses and document a brand's certifications, such as Fair Trade, 1% for the Planet, Climate-Neutral Certified and Plastic Negative.

 
 

PACKAGING

Compostable, Biodegradable, Recycled, Recyclable

We make sure that a brand uses sustainable materials for packaging, including all shipping materials.

 

PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE

Recyclable, Compostable, Biodegradable or Reusable

We define the End of Life within product descriptions, so you know what to do with it at the end of its life. We also assess and document certifications, such as Cradle to Cradle, an approach to the design and the production of products in such a way that at the end of their life, they can truly be recycled (upcycled) or returned to the Earth.

 

PRODUCT ORIGIN

Supply Chain Transparency

We are working on building out a model for increased traceability within the supply chain system, the capability to trace all processes from procurement of raw materials to production, consumption and disposal to clarify when and where the product was produced and by whom.

 

TIMELESS QUALITY

Durability & Longevity

Unlike fast fashion, we only curate items that are timeless in nature, are durable and known for its longevity.

 
 

BRAND PROGRESS

How Much Progress Has the Brand Made

We take into consideration what the brand is working towards and how much progress has been made towards sustainability.

At SISTAIN, we believe collectively we can truly make a greater impact. We can solve more problems together. We can empower more consumers to align their values with their behavior. To vote with their dollar. And we can collectively make a positive difference.
