Our Eco Packaging

Swing Tickets

All our swing tickets are made exclusively from FSC-certified card, ensuring their origin is from a responsibly managed and environmentally sustainable source.

Polybags

Our goal is to shift all our polybags towards materials made entirely from 100% recycled content. We are also fully dedicated to eliminating single-use plastic from our operations wherever feasible.

Our Products

Factories

All the factories we use are long-running businesses with whom we have been dealing for many years, some for decades. Additionally, they are all members of Sedex, a not-for-profit, world-leading organisation that works to improve ethical and responsible business practises in global supply chains.

Product Testing

All product lines are put through a rigorous 50-wash test conducted by an independent testing facility. This ensures our products consistently uphold the high standards for which we are renowned while also withstanding the rough and tumble of everyday school life.

Reducing Our Energy & Waste

Recycling

At Zeco, we’re always looking for ways to recycle and reduce waste. All our waste is separated, so only the minimum is sent to landfills, and we reuse and recycle as much as possible.

Re-Use Cardboard

We reuse the cardboard received through the transportation of garments to us. Those that cannot be reused are sent to our local recycling company, who recycle 100% of what they receive from us.

Charity

Any garment deemed unfit for sale or other uses, such as model display, is either picked up by our local charity shop, Dr. Barnardo’s, or sent to be used in developing countries.

Transport

Our transport systems are also considered as we try and reduce our carbon footprint. We consolidate deliveries both inbound and outbound where possible to utilise the full capacity of delivery vehicles thereby reducing emissions.
