+++ Fair & Social +++
Fair and Social: We work very closely with our manufacturing partner and develop the products together until they are ready for small-scale production. The manufacturing company in Nepal takes care of the training of its workers, supports them in case of family illness, and provides childcare. Production in Nepal costs about one-fifth of the retail price in Europe, which must also cover the costs of export, import, sales, and taxes. Product development, technical documentation, quality assurance, design, and marketing (including product photography) are currently handled entirely by volunteer supporters of the HIMAL HEMP project.
Himal Hemp's entire concept is based on fair and socially responsible value creation and aims to enable as many people as possible in Nepal to live a life of dignity through their own work. While we are still too small to have our production certified at affordable costs, we document the entire production process and work directly with the workers. In Nepal, this direct and personal approach is currently the only way to produce under appropriate working conditions, pay fair wages, and ensure quality. Nevertheless, we are continuously working to improve working conditions there.
+++ Recycled & Recyclable +++
This durable product is made from reused traditional Nepalese women's clothing – upcycling! – and can be easily separated into its components for further recycling.
This product is manufactured almost entirely in Nepal. Supply chains are largely limited to the journey from the former sari wearers to the production facility, where the old saris are cut and woven. While our products do travel from Nepal to Europe, they are designed for long-term use and aim to reduce the demand for plastic-based products (such as neoprene sleeves).
+++ Vegan +++
This product contains no animal-derived ingredients.
