Sustainability at Technostoff
Sustainability at Technostoff: Conscious. Made to Order. Honest.
The techno scene stands for freedom, community and looking out for each other. We live these values at Technostoff too. We're aware of our responsibility and keep working to shrink our ecological footprint. Our approach: honest sustainability instead of greenwashing. We rely on fair production and transparent supply chains.
Made to Order: Your Contribution Against Overproduction
Every piece you order from us is only printed or embroidered in our workshop in Kassel once you've ordered it. That's not just a promise of quality, it's also our most important contribution to sustainability. We only produce what's really needed – no stockpile, no surplus, no destruction.
- No overproduction: We avoid unnecessary stock and the waste of valuable resources.
- Less textile waste: Every piece we make has an owner – you.
- Conscious consumption: You get a freshly made piece that was produced with care for you.
Shipping & Packaging: Reduced to the Essentials
We think about shipping too. We optimise our packaging to save material and volume – and we work with partners who do the same.
- Recycled materials: Our shipping boxes are made from recycled cardboard.
- Minimised volume: Where it makes sense, we use space-saving poly bags made from recyclable LDPE.
- Climate-neutral shipping: We ship with DHL GoGreen and offset the CO₂ emissions of every parcel.
Our Goals for the Future: Organic & Recycled
We're not there yet, but we have a clear plan. Our next big step is switching to more sustainable materials – GOTS-certified organic cotton and recycled fibres.
Our goal: By 2027 we want to use only textiles made from organic cotton and recycled fibres.
This path is a challenge, because sustainable materials are often more expensive and not always available in the qualities we want. But we're sticking with it.
What We're Already Doing
- Green electricity: Our production in Kassel runs on electricity from renewable energy.
- Longevity: We rely on high-quality finishing techniques so you enjoy your pieces for a long time.
- Transparency: We talk openly about our progress and our challenges – without sugar-coating.
For us, sustainability isn't a trend, it's an attitude. Together with you, we want to make techno culture a little better still. Do you have questions or suggestions? Write to us! Or go straight to our sustainably produced collections.
