Sustainability Initiative
Sustainability is a core value at Hadobody. We aim to protect our oceans from today’s global challenges. Our oceans are essential to life on Earth. They cover more than 70% of the planet’s surface, regulate the climate and supply the oxygen we need to survive.
Plastics in our oceans are a pervasive and growing problem. Many clothes and fabrics contain plastics like polyester, acrylic, nylon and polyamide. Up to 64% of most new synthetic fashion fabrics are petroleum based and are made from nonrenewable fossil fuels.
We shed millions of plastic microfibers every time we wash these toxic materials. These tiny microfibers eventually flow into our oceans as they drain out of our washing machines and pass through wastewater treatment plants. Sea animals are eating these micro plastics and moving them through our food chain, a phenomenon known as Trophic Transfer. By reducing plastic waste we can preserve our ocean’s health and food producing capabilities.
We strive to one day be 100% plastic free. We partner with like-minded suppliers who use innovative materials that are not harmful to our world. Dive in with us and help save the oceans while making a positive impact on our planet.
Our Manufacturing Partners Are The Best
A word from our amazing manufacturing team!
“Our mission is to inspire people to grow into their best selves by creating opportunities through ethical manufacturing and building relationships that form a loving community. As an active member of the slow manufacturing community, we know just how important the people behind the clothes are. Established in 2004, we made it our mission to create ethical clothing that wasn’t created at the expense of our employees.
Having our factory located in LA is very important to us! It’s the best way to ensure that our employees are working in great conditions and it allows us to listen to their feedback on how we can help improve their work experiences. We make sure we give our employees benefits, such as:
Living Wages, Health Care Coverage, Paid Vacation Time, Paid Sick Leave
In an effort to support our local economy and reduce our carbon footprint, over 95% of our fabrics are sourced from premium Los Angeles vendors that are located within 10 miles of our facility.
In addition to that, we use our superstar fabric, Lenzing(™) Modal is 80% of our clothing. Lenzing(™) Modal is a fabric that requires very little water usage, is biodegradable, and is made from nature. Learn more at https://www.lenzing.com/sustainability
