In 2015, they embarked on their journey to be a more sustainable company driven by the desire to distance themselves from inhumane working conditions and contribute to a cleaner world. They immediately transitioned to organic and ethical processes on a personal level. However, they quickly realized that sustainability went beyond individual actions and decided to take control over every step in their production process, resulting in today all o their items are 100% Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton and are delivered in compostable packaging.

They are also implementing solar panels into their sewing factory, reusing 90% of waste water using reverse osmosis (RO) system and the other 10% waste which is sludge is being used to manufacture building materials like cement blocks.
Fresh Cuts only uses 100% organic cotton, as cotton grown the old-fashioned way, uses chemicals and metals that harm the environment. With such a damaging effect on the ground that no other crops can be grown where cotton has been. With the cotton industry accounting for 10% of global carbon emissions.
