Kowtow Clothing Sustainability Actions

Uses low-impact fibres

Independent rating content says Kowtow uses mostly low-impact fibres in its garments, including organic cotton, GOTS-certified fibres (GOTS is a standard for organic textiles), and OEKO-TEX certified fibres (a label that checks for harmful substances). The same source says it did not use high-impact synthetic fibres as of January 2024. This suggests the brand has tried to reduce reliance on fossil-based materials in its clothing.

Uses plastic-free packaging

A third-party assessment says Kowtow uses 100% plastic-free packaging, including FSC-certified materials and recycled cardboard. FSC certification means paper or cardboard comes from responsibly managed forests. The assessment also says the brand has taken specific steps to reduce packaging impact. This is a clear action on materials and waste, even though the same source notes the brand still offers free express shipping on some orders.

Offers repair and take-back

Kowtow has a repair programme and a take-back programme for its own clothing. Repair helps keep garments in use for longer, while take-back means the brand accepts old items for recycling or other recovery. The Commons Earth says the brand also gives detailed care instructions to help customers look after clothes properly. These steps fit a circular fashion model, where products are kept in use instead of being thrown away quickly.

Publishes supply chain details

The brand’s sustainability information includes the names and locations of its supply chain partners. A supply chain is the full path a product takes from raw material to finished item. The same third-party source says Kowtow has a supplier code of conduct and that suppliers are audited by third parties. It also notes that suppliers have received labour-related certifications such as Fairtrade, which is a standard linked to better trading terms and some worker protections.

Published a sustainability report

The Commons Earth says Kowtow last published a sustainability report in 2022. It also says the brand has a dedicated sustainability webpage with information on materials, supply chain partners, circularity, and labour practices. However, the same source notes that the report does not include details on emissions or energy strategy. That means the brand has shared some useful information, but not a full climate picture.
