Our Reduce Waste Mission

How we're reducing carbon footprint in the online fitness clothing industry.
Embracing Sustainability: Our Commitment to Reducing Waste
In today's world, the impact of e-commerce on the environment cannot be ignored. As the founder of Savage Babe Collection, I have witnessed firsthand how the growth of online businesses has contributed to environmental degradation. With the population steadily increasing, it is crucial for businesses to take responsibility and be more intentional about their impact on the planet. For me, reducing our carbon footprint is not just a business strategy—it's a personal mission rooted in my love for the Earth.
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest and now residing in the beautiful desert of Boise, Idaho, I have always been connected to nature. My passion for outdoor adventures and appreciation for the planet fuel my desire to create beautiful fitness clothing for women while minimizing harm to the environment. It is essential for businesses to recognize their role in protecting the planet and take active steps to reduce their carbon footprint.
Reducing our carbon footprint is not just a business objective for Savage Babe Collection—it is a personal commitment driven by my love for the planet and the desire to protect it for future generations. Through sustainable materials, a conscious supply chain, energy efficiency, and carbon offsetting, we strive to make a positive impact on the environment.
As customers, you play a crucial role in driving change. By choosing brands that prioritize sustainability, you become part of the solution. Together, we can create a future where businesses are intentional about their impact on the planet.
Our Reduce-Waste Mission:
Savage Babe Collection is intentional about what we do and how we do it. We believe that even small actions can make a significant difference when it comes to preserving the environment. Here are the key aspects of our reduce-waste mission:
Biodegradable Packaging: Making a Sustainable Shipping Process
We are proud to use biodegradable packaging materials for all our shipments. Unlike traditional packaging materials that contribute to landfill waste, biodegradable materials break down naturally over time. This reduces the strain on our environment and minimizes our carbon footprint. By using biodegradable packaging, we contribute to a sustainable shipping process that aligns with our commitment to the planet.
Significance of Biodegradable Packaging:
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Biodegradable materials, such as compostable plastics and plant-based packaging, are designed to degrade without leaving harmful residues behind. They break down into organic matter, reducing pollution and minimizing the long-term impact on ecosystems.
- Conservation of Resources: Biodegradable packaging is often made from renewable resources such as cornstarch, bamboo, or recycled paper. By utilizing these materials, we reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to the conservation of natural resources.
- Mitigation of Landfill Waste: Traditional packaging materials, such as non-biodegradable plastics, can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. Biodegradable packaging, on the other hand, breaks down much faster, reducing the amount of waste that accumulates in these already overcrowded spaces.
Unique Products with Reduced Waste:
In addition to using biodegradable packaging, we also produce limited quantities of our products for each launch. This intentional approach ensures that our products are unique and exclusive, and customers can only purchase them while stocks last. By producing limited quantities, we minimize the risk of excess inventory and reduce the likelihood of unsold items ending up in landfills. This strategy not only keeps our products in high demand but also reduces waste in the production process.
Reusing Shipping Materials:
When customers exchange or return an order, we encourage them to reuse the original packaging if it's still in good condition. By doing so, we reduce waste and promote a circular economy. In the blog post, we will emphasize the importance of reusing shipping materials and how it plays a vital role in minimizing our environmental footprint.
Local Pick-up Reuse:
For our local customers who frequently make pick-up orders, we urge them to return Savage Babe bags from previous purchases so that we can reuse them. This initiative further reduces the need for new packaging materials and showcases our commitment to sustainability.
Lightly Used Collection:
We believe in giving a second life to products whenever possible. Our 'Lightly Used Collection' features items such as sports bras and leggings that were previously used for launch photoshoots. Rather than letting these products collect dust in storage or fill up landfills, we offer them at a discounted price to our customers. This not only reduces waste but also provides an opportunity for our customers on a budget to own Savage Babe Collection
Collaboration for a Cause:
We have collaborated with other businesses that share our commitment to the environment. In the past, we have donated a portion of our proceeds to non-profit organizations supporting environmental causes. By joining forces, we aim to make a more significant impact and create a sustainable future together.
At Savage Babe Collection, sustainability is not just a buzzword – it's at the core of our brand identity. We take our responsibility for environmental impact seriously and have implemented various strategies to reduce waste. Through our biodegradable packaging, the reuse of shipping materials, the lightly used collection, collaborations with like-minded businesses, and the production of limited quantities, we strive to make a positive difference in the fashion industry.
Embracing Recycled Materials: A Future Goal
As a small business, we understand the limitations that financial constraints can present. Currently, incorporating recycled materials into our product lineup is a goal that we are working towards as we continue to grow over the next 10 to 15 years. Our commitment to sustainability remains unwavering, and we aim to make this transition as soon as it becomes financially feasible.
