  • Reason for Policy 

    Clothing and textiles are just part of everyday life, this is a fact. Millions of tons of textiles are purchased everyday. Unfortunately though, millions of tonnes are wasted too. Discarded into landfills, some destined to spend up to 200 years decomposing. This is just not acceptable. So we have drafted this policy, which we will continually adapt, to set out Ziggy Natural's approach to fabrics. That way we can maintain utter transparency during every transaction we make with our customers. 

    Policy Statement

    It s intended for this policy to outline the fabrics we do and do not use in whatever capacity they are applied, with brief reasoning on why that is the case. This policy may be viewed by our customers and shareholders in the public domain without restriction. customers may refer to our policy when contacting the company with any issue they may have relating to this policy. 

    This policy applies to all transactions between Ziggy Natural Products and any of its customers, suppliers, and or manufacturers. It has universal scope and includes all fabrics we interact with. This policy is conjectural as the science and information regarding the environmental impact of fabric is not entirely explored, so can and will be subject to improvement. We have based this policy on the information we have today. 

    Scope

    This policy covers all products sold and held by Ziggy Natural Products. All employees, senior leadership and shareholders, within the confines of company duties. This policy does not include every fabric known to man. It is intended to foresee the types of fabrics Ziggy Natural will interact with, or potentially use for production. 

    Definitions

    Below we will define the fabrics we use and the fabrics we do not. List (a) will be a used fabrics list. List (b) will an unused fabrics list. These lists are subject to change, and will be updated if and when that occurs. The published lists are always our final lists.
