Greenbomb works with production facilities in Bangladesh, Germany, Turkey, Belgium, and Ukraine. They only work with certified suppliers who can assure fair and safe working conditions for their employees. They name each production facility, making this information easily verifiable by the consumers as well; the transparency proving their dedication to ethical workplace practices down their supply chain. The brand itself is Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, providing another level of assurance to the consumer of their safe working conditions.
Greenbomb uses mostly organic cotton in all of their garments, most of which are GOTS certified, ensuring sustainable production and sourcing of the garment and materials. They also use other materials in very little quantity, such as Lenzing EcoVero Viscose and Lyocell; which are more eco-responsible as compared to their conventional alternatives. They also use linen, and Ecomade LYCRA which consists of recycled materials and reduces environmental impact.
The brand however does not mention their packaging material or transportation methods.
The brand mostly has monomaterial garments, making them easily recyclable at the end of use. Aside from this, they do not mention circularity on their website and do not provide any services such as repair or return.
The brand itself is located in Germany, and has suppliers and production partners located in Europe and Asia. This makes the length of the supply chain quite long. However, it seems that the brand has suppliers located in the vicinity of the production facility, which is beneficial to reducing the length of the chain. The brand also does not mention their transportation methods, which is crucial in determining the emissions caused within the supply chain.
This brand is PETA approved Vegan, and does not use any animal products. Their use of predominantly natural materials is also a benefit to animals, keeping microplastic pollution out of the oceans.
Greenbomb puts effort into their clothing, using the highest quality materials and making timeless casual designs to keep the garments in use for as long as possible. The brand could, however, provide the customer with care tips specified to each material, which they do not.
Greenbomb provides a lot of transparency about their materials as well as production facilities within the product description pages. Most of their production facilities as named, as well as certifications associated with them, which makes it easier for consumers to verify their authenticity themselves. These details are, however, not consistent on every product page. They also mention in the product description that the consumers can find more information regarding their production facilities in the “About Us page under Our Production and Certificates & Partners”; however, this page is not to be found. The brand could put more efforts into making this information more easily accessible. Aside from that, we commend their dedication to transparency, as not many brands state their production facilities by name, we hope to see more consistency in this information on their website going forward.
Another key thing lacking from their transparency is information regarding their packaging material, and transportation methods.
