FOOTPRINT UKIYO

Footprint | The soul of Ukiyo 

​

​

Our footprint is the soul of Ukiyo. Every choice we make is based to contribute to a healthy, safe and sustainable climate and environment.

 

Living in the moment –the meaning and purpose of Ukiyo-, preferably in a safe child friendly environment. Building toward a sustainable future, which we can be proud of and take care for. Aren’t we all dreaming of a lush and green climate, and enough healthy air to breathe for generations to come?

 

The fashion industry contributes massively towards climate change in a negative manner and thus has a huge negative social and environmental impact. After the agricultural industry, the fashion industry is globally the largest polluter of freshwater. 

 

Those are all the reasons why we strive for sustainable and climate-neutral Ukiyo-garments.

 

Both the way how clothing is produced ánd consumed have different but significant impacts. Fast-fashion dominates streetlife and sure: it’s fun to buy new styles and affordable clothing, but it’s far from ethical nor in any way sustainable. Our behaviour and (apparently our disability to deny) our desire for fast-fashion also has a catastrophic negative impact on climate-change.

 

This should change in behaviour that contributes to a more inclusive, regenerative and sustainable approach to fashion, which should lead to a circular process and fashion system.

 

 

UKIYO strives for a circular system in the production of her garments. How?

 

  • Ukiyo lowers its Co2 emission by producing everything locally and works together with local suppliers, designers and deliverers within a radius of app. 5km. We’re making sure that all of them also have a sustainable-philosophy.

  • We use recycled and leftover fabrics

  • If ordered locally, we deliver by bike!

  • We use sustainable (100% recyclable) packaging and materials

  • Of every Euro profit we make, we donate 10% to a good cause (toward a healthier climate)
