Circular economy

Our products are made to last through time and wear, with services that further extend their lifecycle.

In the future, clothes’ manufacturing is to make up a smaller proportion of our business, and we must tailor our practices in line with circular economy models. Well-working service models and a profitable business make it possible for the core idea behind our work to be realised: spreading social good.

Strategy

As part of our strategy to reduce our emissions and our usage of natural resources, we are committed to developing services that extend the product lifecycle, including repair- and care services, and increasing the recyclability of our products. We continuously develop new service concepts to support and facilitate reuse, such as Second Hand services.
 
The principles of circular economy are also woven into our design process, as we select only easily recyclable materials that can withstand care, repairs and years of use. Our products have a 12-month warranty, meaning that each piece should last at least twelve months of normal wear and tear when cared for in line with the care instructions.

The place circular economy takes in our sustainability and responsibility strategy is more crucial year after year. At this time, second hand Kaiko clothing can easily be resold through our partner Ninyes, and we offer our webshop customers repair services through the online repair provider Menddie as part of our warranty.

To support greater care for and repair of our products, we have joined forces with Vaatelaastari®, a Finnish innovation in clothing repairs.
