Water footprint: 1,2 liters 

Carbon footprint: 1,1 kg CO2e 

Production is GRS certified (Global Recycled Standard).

What about ethics then?

Employees are paid a living wage that exceeds the minimum wage. The employees are of legal age and everyone has an employment contract, as well as access to healthcare and commuting. Working hours and occupational safety are taken care of.
