SMALL STEPS. BIG CHANGE.
OUR IMPACT
Our premium absorbent underwear is a small part of a bigger journey. One less pad, one less liner, one less plastic wrap.
We've worked with leading sustainability experts to create pieces in line with environmental best practices, and that requirement drives every part of our process, from our supply chain, to our fibres, to our fabric dyes, to the packaging FEMMZE reaches you in.
Our goal is to continually update and refine our practices as we grow and work to become leaders in leak-proof technology and sustainable fabrics.
MORE YOU. LESS PLASTIC.
FEMMZE FABRICS
FEMMZE works with a small number of trusted textile suppliers who are similarly committed to innovations that create a more sustainable way of operating in the fashion space. Like us, they’re dedicated to redefining fashion’s effect on the planet.
The FEMMZE launch collection uses sculpting cotton outer body fabric that works with local communities and uses a low-toxicity dying process for the health of our planet.
Our dyeing processes minimise water and energy expenditure in line with Bluesign and Oeko-Tex standards.
ALL FEMMZE fabrics are at a minimum Oeko-Tex certified to ensure there is no use of PFAS, or other harmful chemicals.
Our next to skin liners are made to stringent WOOLMARK standards, and feature a fully traceable supply chain from SHEEP to SHOP. The WOOLMARK certification is also another layer of testing that ensures the safety of our product.
FEMMZE is geared toward continually updating our designs with new offerings that lead the way when it comes high performance fabrics, trims and technology that can best support you, and the EARTH.
PACKAGING
Our mailers are plastic-free, recyclable, and compostable, made from post-consumer recycled materials and responsibly harvested paper pulp. They are perfect for reusing over again, too!
Our tissue paper is printed with soy-based inks on FSC-certified paper. It is 100% compostable and recyclable—though before you do this, a hot tip: we love to give it even more life and upcycle it as wrapping paper!
Our swing tags are made by a premium supplier with stringent environmental standards. The paper is FSC-certified, and the process uses minimal water and energy consumption. The strings are made from organic cotton and paper resin.
Just as we care about our wearers, we care about our makers. Our factory is certified and audited to ensure the people who make FEMMZE are paid and treated fairly.
MANUFACTURING
It is an ongoing process to ensure manufacturing is also in alignment when it comes to environmental policies and their carbon footprint.
At FEMMZE, to support the impact of manufacturing on the environment, we only offer considered collections that are dedicated to maximum impact as opposed to trying to sell based purely on high volume and a "more is more" mentality. We produce high-quality, long-lasting essentials that you can hold onto.
Our manufacturing partner is committed to taking steps to reduce their impact on the environment, and also support their workers. Initiatives include; Career path diversity, percentage of female managers, men and women's ability to take childcare leave, and ensuring there is continuous employment opportunities.
At FEMMZE we aim to use up our deadstock fabrics and make purposeful capsual collections. Stay tuned for our limited edition releases by signing up to our news.
