SUSTAINABILITY

We keep it simple: by purchasing this hat you give a second life to the material otherwise ending up in landfill or burning trash. We have developed the sustainability of the COVERT hat starting from the tiniest details to be as sustainable as possible. Majority of the fabrics (strap, label and material of the hat itself) are sustainable. 

We use quality materials to create a long life cycle to the product. Majority of the components of the hat come either from Finland or other places in Europe. The decision supports our goal to create as little carbon dioxide as possible. 

We use Finnish subcontractors in procurement of the components and in the production to support local and small businesses. Despite using local subcontractors, we have researched where the components originate. To make sure we collaborate with partners who share our values we visit their factories prior to forming a partnership. We compare their performance to our social and environmental standards alongside their technical capability before taking the decision to proceed.

To ease the recycling process the pieces of the product can be separated.

We evaluate our sustainability practices on an on-going basis. All sustainability information is researched and calculated with environmental impacts in mind. In the future we will continue to develop more sustainable business practices.
