Colors that respect nature
Sustainable development & CSR
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are core values at GREEN’ING :
- For our productions
- For the selection of our supplies, suppliers and partners
Sustainable Development
We offer colors from nature that can return to nature on the principle of craddle to craddle philosophy.
All our natural colours are from sustainable raw materials :
- from organic & local cultivation of dye-plants
- from farm / food local by-products and development by our R&D (upcycling)
- natural extracts from local partners that we develop for color
- selected sourcing, for materials from mild regions.
Finished products in natural color are compostable or biodegradable at end of life (if our ingredients are not formulated with products or substrate from petroluem origin).
Contribution to biodiversity
Nature is a basis for our company. Its perservation is a duty for us.
Dye-plants are a source of biodiversity in fields
Dye-plants have not been submitted to genetical selection, therefore they provide intraspecific genetic diversity in culture
Our dye-plants are grown without any pesticides ; they are hardy plants, often with limited needs. They contribute to animal biodiversity and some may be source of honey
For collected plants, we use approved collectors and pay attention to the respect of resource
Our raw materials comply with CITES and protection of endangered species
