Veganologie believes in being transparent with its consumers, hoping for positive change not only for the sustainable standards but more importantly for the planet. We hope our community can work with us to make this difference. Working together is better than working alone.

Environment

Horrified by the famous image of the plastic straw being pulled out of the turtle, we knew that there had to be more we could do as a society to prevent our planet from getting damaged further. With approximately 26,000 tons of plastic waste sitting in our oceans, we knew that one of Veganologie’s core values needed to surround the idea of bringing sustainable and circular fashion to life, by using recycled plastic bottles as the base of our materials.

At Veganologie, we are ethical and sustainable from our roots. Therefore, we work hard to ensure that all our facilities are ethical, and all our materials are sustainable. We believe that sustainability not only applies to our materials or products but being ethical and mindful of all the members who work tirelessly to achieve the quality that we feel proud to share with you.

All our products are produced at facilities that have been assessed and certified by the Brussels-based auditing firm, Amfori BSCI – the leading business association for open and sustainable trade. They have also been certified by Sedex’s SMETA Audit (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit), the social auditing methodology, enabling businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain. Moreover, all our materials have been GRS (Global Recycled Standards) certified to certify the authenticity of our sustainable materials.

This is just the beginning for Veganologie. In the future, we hope to introduce more materials that are not only unique for our conscious consumer, but also to create a healthier planet. Ultimately, our primary goal is to increase awareness around ethical production and to encourage sustainable consumption in the fashion world.

Global Recycled Standard (GRS) and Recycled Claim Standard (RCS)

Each material used in our products and packaging is 100% recycled and has either the GRS or RCS certification. Both the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) and the RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) certification are an international system that sets prerequisites for third-party certification, which consists of recycled content, social and environmental practices, and chemical restrictions. Their aim is to define requirements, ensure accurate claims and good working conditions in our factories, and minimise all environmental and chemical impacts.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Being the pioneers in bringing innovative materials to the UAE and GCC, we introduced Apple Leather to our collection, which is certified by the USDA.

The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) is the federal exuctive department responsible for developing and executing federal laws related to forestry, rural and economic development and food.

Our Apple Leather is made from leftover pomace from the juicing industry and to ensure we’re producing our accessories at the highest quality, we purchase Apple Leather which is certified by the USDA to assure our community that nothing would go wrong with the fabric both pre and post production.
