Index

Blue Banana is aware that there is a long way to go to minimise its impact.

At Dcycle we have taken our first steps to analyze Blue Banana’s environmental impact and trace its value chain.  The brand creates designs that express adventure. They identify themselves as a team that doesn’t just make clothes to wear, but to activate and inspire.

Through honesty, commitment and respect for our planet, Blue Banana is aware that there is a long way to go in minimizing its impact. In line with these values, it has decided to create its garments only from organic cotton and recycled polyester with packaging made from recycled and compostable materials. Also, its commitment to social and environmental sustainability has led the brand to produce some of its garments in Portugal.

To continue minimizing its impact, Blue Banana works with Dcycle to calculate its carbon footprint, trace its value chain and increase its transparency. So far, Dcycle has measured their Scope 1 and 2 emissions, guided their decision making in relation to energy efficiency, and begun to trace the value chain of their products.

Once its total carbon footprint is calculated, Blue Banana aims to offset its equivalent amount of CO2 emissions. At Dcycle, we keep working to make its products carbon neutral.
