LOUNGE
SUSTAINABILITY

OUR VALUES

Lounge is on an ever-evolving journey to ensure the brand is as sustainable as it can be, and we take this responsibility seriously. Sustainability as a science is constantly developing, and we are all learning about the effects of it the hard way. As a brand, we understand that while we are making all of the changes possible as soon as they become achievable, it's about progress, not perfection - and transparency with our community is key.

OUR FOOTPRINT

Our carbon output is something that we want to be transparent about. Take a look below to see the breakdown of our carbon footprint.

COMPANY PROJECTS

SOME OF OUR JOURNEY SO FAR

89% of last years product launches contained recycled materials.

During September 2021 we went live with our new distribution centre in Belgium. This drastically reduces final mile shipping.

Return cards now use 50% less card. Our mailing bags are made from 95% recycled materials. Our gift boxes switched to FSC card and the ribbons are made from plastic bottles.

Our Electric suppliers were switched to 100% renewable energy. We now use a mixture of solar wind, biomass, hyrdo, biogas and energy from waste.

We manage UK waste product in 3 new ways

<p>Primary and preferred route is to re-use the material for <strong>future manufacturing</strong> of other garments, clothes & textiles via recycling. </p>

<p>Secondary route is to recycle the materials for <strong>2nd generation products</strong>. Products include insulation, geotextiles, partition walls & sound boarding. </p>

<p>Finally, if the previous two routes are not possible as the material is currently non-recycylable, the fibres will be made into chips and melted to <strong>generate green energy</strong> (RDF). </p>
