Terrible Twins Sustainability Actions

B Corp certified in 2021

We were certified as a B Corp in 2021 – as one of the very first companies in Sweden. We are both proud and humbled by this. It means that the way we do business is audited according to one of the world’s most ambitious standards of social and environmental responsibility.

Manufactured locally in Sweden

All of our products are designed and made 100% in Sweden with a strong focus on sustainable and local production, environmental awareness and social engagement. We manufacture locally and on a small scale, which allows us to follow the chain all the way – from fibre to finished product.

Uses recycled cotton fabrics

Our wheat warmers have covers in recycled cotton and pure linen, the cushion is filled with KRAV-certified organic wheat and optional lavender. The outer fabric of the circular wheat heater is recycled. That makes that both water and energy consumption decreases dramatically, but also that there is no some new emissions of chemicals in manufacturing.

Reused curtain fabric in 2023

Another example of how we are trying to think more sustainably is the collaboration with Green Hotel in Tällberg. When they replaced their linen curtains in 2023, we took care of the fabric. It became the basis for a collection of wheat warmers – made from textiles that had already been used once.

Uses natural materials

Our products are made using carefully selected, natural ingredients of the highest quality: organic wheat and pure linen. We fell in love with linen early on – a beautiful, durable and living natural material that only gets better with time.
