Our environmental impact

Apiece Apart is guided by a deep social and environmental conscience, and we make business decisions that prioritize people and the planet. We're tremendously proud of the progress we've made toward sustainability (it's a journey, not a destination), and we will continue to make changes that lead to environmental impact. Read more about our progress below - progress we couldn't have made without your support.

 

We make clothes that last for years to come

 

What we've accomplished

 

Materials Matter
Purposeful Packaging


Recyclable Boxes:
made in the USA of 100% recycled material, 95% of which is post consumer waste; use curbside recycling for disposal or reuse

 

TIPA Polybags:
to date, we have eliminated 133,825 conventional plastic polybags; TIPA bags are certified home and industrially compostable and will disintegrate in home compost within 180 days

 

Hangtags:
100% recyclable; made with 80% post-consumer content and printed with soy-based ink

 

Tissue Paper:
FSC Certified and free of contaminants and synthetic additions, making it safe to home or industrially compost Return Card/Envelope: printed on FSC Certified Paper and 100% recyclable

 

A Regenerative Future
In September 2021, we partnered with Oshadi Collective and committed to 23 acres of land in Erode, India to grow our own regenerative cotton. Regenerative agriculture goes beyond just sustaining or limiting the depletion of natural resources–it gives back to the land. Our 23 acres of land has sequestered 222,549 tons of carbon, with an average increase of 32 tons of carbon from September 2021 to present. Our first harvest yielded over 14,000 yards of regeneratively grown cotton, and our spring 2023 collection features 10 regenerative cotton styles. Read more about Oshadi >

 

One Tree For Every Order

 

In October 2022, we partnered with Ecodrive to plant verified Mangrove trees, a direct investment in the planet, leading to a long-term positive impact on our environment. Studies have show that mangroves are one of the most effective and economic methods of sequestering carbon emissions from the atmosphere–mangroves sequester carbon at a rate 2-4x greater than mature tropical forests and contain the highest carbon density of all terrestrial ecosystems.

How we produce your garments
We craft timeless, long-lasting garments that exist outside of trend cycles, and every Apiece Apart collection is cut-to-order, with little to no excess inventory at the end of each season.

 

As part of our ongoing sustainability efforts, we source natural, organic and recycled fibers whenever possible, and we work to minimize waste and energy usage in our design and production process. When we do have excess, liability fabric, we repurpose it in the form of pajama capsules (shown above) or we donate to Fabscrap, a New York based nonprofit working to divert textile waste from landfills.

 

We prioritize fair treatment of workers and artisans within our supply chain. Our traceability is 100% for our tier 1 factory manufacturing partners (cut and sew), and we’re committed to providing complete lifecycle visibility – from seed and farm, to spinners and dyers, to the factory and ultimately to you.
