Buneko Sustainability Guide

At Buneko, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. It’s not just a commitment—it’s the foundation of our story. From the fabrics we rescue to the crafts we champion, every step is taken with care for the planet, people, and future generations. This guide provides an in-depth look into our sustainable journey and how you, as a conscious consumer, play a vital role in shaping a better tomorrow.

1. Why Sustainability Matters

The fashion industry has a significant impact on our planet, with millions of tons of textiles discarded every year. At Buneko, we challenge this norm by rethinking fashion’s lifecycle. Through sustainable choices, like repurposing surplus materials, we work to reduce waste and transform the narrative of fashion as a polluter into one of positive impact.
Did You Know?

  • Over 92 million tons of textiles are wasted annually.
  • By using surplus fabrics, we’ve saved more than 50000 garments this year, saving 150,000 kg CO₂ emissions.

2. Our Sustainable Practices

We believe sustainability isn’t about one action but a series of thoughtful decisions. Here’s how we integrate eco-consciousness into every thread:

  • Rescuing Surplus Fabrics
    By partnering with factories, we source high-quality clothes that would otherwise go unused, minimizing waste and conserving resources.
    Impact: 2,543 garments saved this year.
  • Promoting Circular Fashion
    Upcycling and reimagining unused materials extend the lifecycle of textiles, encouraging a zero-waste mindset.
    Impact: Encourages customers to prioritize quality over quantity, reducing environmental strain.
  • Empowering Communities
    We partner with artisans and garment workers, ensuring fair wages, preserving traditional skills, and uplifting local economies.

3. Consumer Responsibility

Making Sustainable Choices Together

Sustainability is a partnership. When you choose Buneko, you’re choosing to make a difference. But sustainability also begins at home, with mindful habits that amplify our collective impact.
Tips for Sustainable Living:

  • Buy with Intention: Invest in versatile, high-quality pieces.
  • Care for Your Clothes: Wash less frequently, use cold water, and air dry whenever possible.
  • Recycle and Donate: Pass on garments you no longer need instead of discarding them.

4. Tracking Our Impact

Transparency in Every Thread

We believe that measurable impact drives trust and accountability. Every choice we make is tied to real progress, which we’re proud to share:

  • Number of pieces saved: more than 50,000
  • Crafts Supported: 4 traditional techniques supported
  • Carbon Savings: Equivalent to removing 1,000 cars from the road annually
