Zero Waste Bras, Bralettes and Sports Bras (Part 2)
Pact In most of their products, the cotton is blended with elastane to create a stretchy feel; meaning that they are not 100% cotton. The main downside to purchasing from Pact is that they individually wrap each bra in a plastic bag. Although they have recently launched a new "biodegradable" bag, it is still a plastic bag with added organic compounds that supposedly accelerate how quickly the plastic will break down. The Very Good Bra The Very Good Bra claims to be the first (and only) 100% compostable bra in the world. Even the sewing thread is manufactured from 100% cellulosic material and cotton thread. Their labels are printed using soy dyed inks so there isn't a single bit of non-compostable plastic in the bra! Organic Basics Organic Basics offers a variety of underwear, active wear, lounge wear, and bras. Depending on the type of product you purchase, it'll be made of organic cotton, TENCEL or their fabric called SilverTech. With GOTS Certification and B-Corp Certification, Organic Basics meets high standards of sustainability and social justice. They also offset all of their carbon emissions each year making them a carbon neutral company! Looking for some undies to go with your new bras? We've got a list of those too! P/s: When you're shopping for bras, look for companies that highlight a diverse array of actually people wearing their bras. Make sure they're not designed by people who a) never wear bras in the first place and b) are only thinking about small chest sizes and finally c) consider the needs of only able-bodied folks. ------------- Visit our website: https://zerowasteinitiative.com/ Source: Internet 🌳 Zero Waste Initiative - Less Trash More Life! 🌏 Let's Save The World While There's Still Time!
