Kalani

At Kalani, the entire supply chain is GOTS ( Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, which means that the raw materials are organic and grown without chemicals (pesticides, insecticides or fertilizers). They therefore do not contain GMOs or toxic fine particles. A strong commitment to the health of all! 🧡

The sustainable production practices used therefore do not pollute water, soil or air, avoid overconsumption of water and preserve the environment and biodiversity. 🌻🐝 Traceability also limits the use of processing products (washing, dyeing, printing,...) in all production and manufacturing processes of textile products.

For its linen product ranges, Kalani has chosen to work with local linen, spun in Italy (which does not go back and forth to China like 80% of the fibers) and woven and made in Portugal.

By selling almost exclusively online, the company greatly reduces the carbon footprint of the distribution networks of traditional stores, but above all the potential travel of each customer! Promoting the least polluting logistics possible is also an important point for Kalani: transport by boat rather than by plane and a minimum of road transport is a realistic and winning recipe for everyone! 🌍

To offset the remaining CO2 footprint, the team decided to participate in an offsetting project, financing photovoltaic panels in India. A project that makes sense when you know that a large part of textile production is located there. By supporting them in their ecological projects on site, Kalani participates in a committed virtuous circle that continues to evolve every day!

Did you know that each kilo of organic cotton jersey bed sheets, for example, saved the planet 1483.8 liters of water compared to a production of one kilo of conventional cotton bed sheets? This equates to a 96% reduction in water consumption! 💧 Crazy, right?

Kalani works with suppliers with fair and respectful working conditions and remuneration, all verified by regular SA 8000 audits. Their cotton is purchased from farmers in the "Best Practice" organic cotton cooperatives in the provinces of Odisha, Telangana and Maharashtra, in central India, where the team regularly visits the country. 👨 🌾 A consideration and recognition that we welcome!
