Since it was set up, environmental protection has been part of the DNA of Miniconf, a company born on the outskirts of the Casentino Forests National Park.
For Miniconf the obligation to produce durable and long lasting garments is closely linked to the objective of limiting waste and hence the rate of pollution. Love for quality meets respect for the Planet in the “Infinite Love” commitment, which aims to enhance the durability of garments throughout the supply chain: from birth to consumer awareness in caring for, sharing and reusing clothes.
Miniconf has implemented an Environmental Management System compliant with the UNI EN ISO 14001 standard, which has been certified since 2003; which supports the efficient use of resources through a model of continuous improvement.
Miniconf’s policy leades every effort and investment in this direction.
Since 2019 Miniconf has been promoting its Environmental Commitment Manifesto: an initiative aimed at improving its environmental impact.
We chose to collaborate with Treedom to bring the Miniconf Forest to life
We have installed two solar power systems at our Ortignano site and at one of our warehouses, which generate enough energy to cover around 70 per cent of our total energy requirements.
All our sites are fitted with LED lighting, which helps to optimise energy consumption.
We have installed free drinking water dispensers connected to the mains water supply at all our sites.
We are committed to minimising the use of plastic inserts in our product packaging.
We use hangers made from 100% recycled plastic for all our garments.
We are committed to optimising our use of paper and cardboard.
For further details, please see our Sustainability Report.
Here all useful information for the correct recycling of our packaging
Cotton is by far the most widely used fiber in the collections of the Miniconf brands.
We are proud member of Better Cotton.
We are committed to sourcing 100% of our cotton as ‘more sustainable cotton’ by 2027. More sustainable cotton’ includes Better Cotton and organic cotton.
Better Cotton is sourced via a system of mass balance and is not physically traceable in end products. For details: bettercotton.org/massbalance
In 2013, after joining the international Fur Free Standard by LAV Italy, Miniconf has announced that the company will no longer use animal fur in its designs or new products.
The animal fur was replaced by comfortable, warm and beautiful synthetic and natural textile materials.
In order to ensure animal welfare and “animal friendly” kids fashion, we are keeping adopting new ethical policies. In 2018 and in 2020 we made other important choices: none of our products will contain leather, down and feathers any more.
