OUR FABRICS ARE PRICED AT 1/2 METRES (50CM)
At A KIND CLOTH, we aim towards zero-waste. Buying in 1/2 metre increments allows for less wastage than buying at 1 metre increments when you know how much fabric you need for your project.
Pieces will be cut in one continuous length.

IS VISCOSE SUSTAINABLE?

Eco-responsible: ...a high recovery rate for Process chemicals, and the fibres are fully biodegradable. Under the right conditions, certain viscose fibres can decompose in just 3 months, compared with Polyester which takes 200 years!

PACKAGING AND DELIVERY

REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

Like our fabrics, we aim to be as sustainable as possible here at A KIND CLOTH. To lower our impact on the environment:
- All packaging in our orders to you are kept to a minimum
- We encourage our customers to reuse our packaging where possible
- Your order may arrive in re-used packaging, which in this instance could be plastic - better to reuse than to go to landfill
- Otherwise, all our packaging is made from either recycled materials or from certified sources, and is 100% recyclable
- Labels, stickers and tape are either compostable or biodegradable

Working with Planet and Shopify, emissions from our deliveries to you are Carbon Neutralised, funding vital climate solutions.
