At Qveens Divine, sustainability isn't just a buzzword – it's a way of life. We're committed to reducing our environmental footprint while also making a positive impact on our community. Our dedication to sustainability begins with our production process, where we prioritize minimizing waste at every turn.
One of the key ways we minimize waste is by ensuring that no fabric goes unused. Rather than discarding excess or scrap fabric, we save it for a purposeful second life. These fabric remnants are repurposed to create utilitarian objects that serve a meaningful purpose. From tote bags to quilts, every item is crafted with care and attention to detail.
But we don't stop there. Instead of profiting from these creations, we choose to donate them to local and aligned organizations. By doing so, we not only divert fabric from landfills but also support causes close to our hearts. Each order we receive plays a crucial role in this process, as a portion of the proceeds goes towards creating these items for donation.
Sustainability isn't just a checkbox for us – it's a core value that informs everything we do. We firmly believe in the importance of slow fashion, rejecting the throwaway culture perpetuated by fast fashion brands. Unlike those companies, we prioritize ethical practices and strive to minimize our impact on the planet. Every garment we produce is a testament to our commitment to quality, durability, and sustainability.
When you place an order with Qveens Divine, you're not just purchasing clothing – you're supporting a movement towards a more sustainable future. Each piece is made with love and care, ensuring that it not only looks good but also does good. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards a greener, more ethical fashion industry.
How can you help contribute to sustainability?
Once you receive your order from Qveens Divine, there are several ways you can contribute to sustainability:
1. Reuse or Repurpose Packaging: Our orders are shipped in bubble mailers to ensure your items arrive safely. One of the most common ways to contribute to sustainability is by reusing or repurposing the bubble mailer. You can use it to package gifts, store items, or even donate it to local organizations that might find a use for it.
2. Soft Plastics Recycling: If you're unable to reuse the bubble mailer, the next best option is recycling. Bubble mailers fall under the category of soft plastics, which can be recycled at specific drop-off locations. The most common way to recycle the bubble mailer is by dropping it off at a store with a soft plastics recycling bin. However, it's important to remove all labels by cutting them out and disposing of them in the trash before recycling the mailer.
3. Utilize Recycling Drop-off Sites: Many grocery stores and pharmacies nationwide have recycling drop-off sites where you can deliver flexible plastics, including bubble mailers. Simply collect your flexible plastics, such as bubble mailers, along with other recyclable items and take them to the nearest drop-off location. This simple action can help divert waste from landfills and contribute to a more sustainable future.
By taking these steps, you can play a part in reducing waste and supporting sustainable practices beyond your purchase. Together, we can make a difference in protecting our planet for future generations.
