Sustainability

Sustainability

Sustainability is a characteristic we feel is inextricably linked to our core mission to support people with eczema and itchy skin conditions: our customers need durable clothes made from quality materials, packaged and delivered in a way that does minimal harm to the planet and people who live in it. 

As we are a marketplace, we see our key role as influencing and persuading our stakeholders, such as our clothing brands and customers, to take sustainable actions alongside us.

Trade In

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve our sustainability credentials we are thrilled to introduce our Trade In initiative ...


Reduce - customers can now return outgrown, unused, unwanted Eczema Clothing items. 
Reuse – all clothing in usable condition will be either re-sold on our website or given to our charity partner EOS to donate to kids and families living with eczema.  
Recycle - any unusable items will be passed onto our recycling partner Cotton Lives On, who recycle cotton and turn it into mattresses, many of which go to the homeless.  
Reward - for every item you return to us, you’ll be given a credit to spend on-line and get something new!  

You can start your own Trade in and find out more here.

We are in the early stages of our sustainability journey, but our plan is that during 2024 we expect that:

- All our brands will have an international certification that covers the manufacture of their items including their materials and provenance, as well as the health & safety and employment conditions of their factories. UPDATE - as at Oct '23 - on track.

- All our brands will use recyclable packaging. UPDATE - as at Oct '23 - on track.

- Our warehouse and delivery partner will have a clear sustainability plan - DONE

- We will continue to sell clothes that are long lasting and of high quality - DONE

 - We will continue to enable and encourage our customers to care for their clothes carefully so they can be washed, re-worn and re-used many times over - UPDATE - see Tern page for our new recycling scheme!
