Top 4 New Goals From Canada’s Leading Sustainable Fashion Brand Frank And Oak

Oct 29, 2021

When you shop with Frank And Oak you are supporting slow fashion and sustainability in the fashion industry! The brand recently announced their sustainability goals for 2022.

If you're always torn between buying a dress or a pair of pants and the impact of your purchase on the climate, consider getting your clothes from a brand that cares about you and the planet. Shop at Frank And Oak, a Canadian sustainable fashion brand, that uses recycled and sustainable materials - down to the paper the receipts are printed on.

Frank And Oak is a certified B Corporation® since 2019. Certified B Corps meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, and are required to consider the impact of their decisions on their workers, customers, suppliers, community, and the environment.

This Canadian slow fashion brand is committed to sustainability and has vowed to remove virgin plastic and polyester from their supply chain, implement more carbon offset programs, use more renewable energy, and continue to encourage their zero-waste policy.

Recent catastrophic weather events proved once again that climate change can no longer be ignored. This is why, now more than ever, Canada's top sustainable clothing brand is committed to sourcing better materials, and optimizing shipping methods to significantly reduce their carbon emissions.

Are you one of those people who always wonders why one t-shirt needs to be wrapped in three different kinds of packaging? It makes no sense, and there is another way. By 2022, the forward-thinking company aims to remove all excess packaging and maximize the use of recycled raw materials, thereby ceasing the use of virgin plastic entirely. Additionally, they will strive to use only 100% recycled polyester fibres.

But that's not all, Frank And Oak, a top sustainable fashion brand in Canada, are also going to be switching to renewable energy sources as much as possible. This includes all their warehouses, stores, and other facilities. 

For nearly a decade, Frank And Oak have been scaling their sustainability efforts. Through collaborations with local and international partners, they have been participating in reforestation. In 2022, they have plans for even more projects that will help them offset their carbon emissions. On top of that, with their zero-waste policy still in place, the brand will continue to supply reusable materials.

It all comes down to sustainable practices, factories, and fabrics. To ensure their clothing is good both for you and our planet, Frank And Oak rely on sustainable materials such as hemp, post-consumer recycled cotton, ethically sourced yak wool, and kapok.

But what about all the shipping and packaging? That has to be bad for the environment, right? Well, it doesn't have to be. While these are a necessary hassle that comes with the territory, the creative team at Frank And Oak has found ways to reduce their packaging to a minimum. Plus, the packaging they do use is made from recycled cardboard.

When it comes to carbon emissions caused by shipping that can't be avoided, Frank And Oak offset them. The company calculates the amount of carbon emitted by each shipment and then donates money to plant new trees in Quebec. So, when you order from Frank And Oak, you don't have to worry about how much damage you're doing to the Earth because you will be helping plant trees instead.

Want to do even more? Great! Have you heard of the "Let's give a shi(r)t" campaign? Here's how it works - you take your old clothes to your local Frank And Oak store and leave them in a designated container. That's it. Instead of adding to the 13 million tonnes of clothing waste that is produced each year in North America alone, you can give your used clothes a second life.

If you're looking for clothes designed with sustainability, transparency, and functionality in mind, Frank And Oak should be your one and only destination. Whether you need a comfy sweater for cold fall nights or you're looking for some hats and scarves to accessorize your outfit, you will find it all here. But best of all - it won't cost you (or our planet) a small fortune.
