About Studio Feder

Brand sustainability

Studio Feder focuses highly on sustainability and especially on sustainable fabrication and production. The most important aspect of their business is undoubtedly their product and making sure they do as little damage to the environment as possible is paramount to their development.

Certified Materials

A wide range of their products are either certified with sustainable certifications or made more sustainably. A plethora of their products boasts the GOTS certification, the world’s leading processing standard for textiles made from organic fibres. GOTS includes regulations for both organic production and social responsibility, showing that Studio Feder takes responsibility for the environment and the people making their products. The GOTS certification provides a credible assurance to the end consumer, guaranteeing the status of their textiles – from harvesting the raw materials, through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, all the way to packaging, labelling, and distribution of textiles – is made with at least 70% certified organic natural fibres.

Their selection of textile products made from a cotton and linen mix, where the cotton fibre percentage is less than 70% is thereby OCS certified. Their production takes place in the same facilities as the GOTS certified products and the social responsibility criteria are virtually the same. Other product certifications Studio Feder obtained include OEKO-TEX certified cotton for their quilts and bedspreads, and OEKO-TEX certified feather filling for all their pillows. Studio Feder also uses recycled polyester for their toiletry bags, believing it’s equally as important to reuse and reduce the amount of textile waste already existent in the world.

Natural Materials

A natural material they often use apart from organic cotton is linen. Flax, the plant from which linen is made, is extremely versatile. Every part of the plant is used when producing linen, leaving nothing to waste. Flax is resilient and can even grow in poor soil using far less water in its consumption than cotton. Considered by many to be a luxury fabric due to its laborious yarn production and manual processing, linen is also one of the most biodegradable fabrics in fashion history. When untreated (not dyed), it is fully biodegradable.

Sustainable Packaging

The Studio Feder packaging is made of paper that is either FSC certified or entirely recycled in local Danish factories. FSC is a certification that guarantees the practice of sustainable forestry, setting standards for forest products like paper and wood that have been sourced in an environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and economically viable manner. On the other hand, recycling is equally as important for them to implement whenever possible, as it can prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials. This thereby reduces energy usage, air pollution and water pollution.

Studio Feder also tries to reuse the boxes they ship their parcels in as many times as possible. The paper packaging tape they use is made of a sustainable, chlorine-free raw material. This way, the tape can be disposed of in an eco-friendly way by using heat treatment. Their gift-wrapping paper is made of recycled paper and their ‘Thank You’ card is made of FSC certified paper. Furthermore, Studio Feder packs all their GOTS certified products in biodegradable polybags, which you can then reuse for toys, fruits or any other kind of storage.
