sustainability
Sustainability has many meanings today. Here we would like to show you what NINA REIN stands for and what demands we place on the sustainability of our company.
In order to be able to call our clothing sustainable, we want to pay attention to every step of the production chain. From the raw materials to the manufacturing to the distribution.
We treat our environment with care, both with people and with nature. This is where our sensitivity for nature conservation comes from! With NINA REIN we are breaking new ground in the fashion industry. We
process natural materials from certified organic farming and
sustainable production. Only in this way can we trust that nature has already
is protected during the cultivation of the raw materials. Our collections become highlights through expressive colors.
The use of natural materials is also implemented in details, such as buttons. We see a variety of ways to counteract the flood of plastic and use these alternatives wherever possible.
We want to continue to drive the change towards greater sustainability.
We don't just avoid using plastic in the packaging of our clothes. We also don't use any synthetic fibers, such as polyacrylic or polyester, in the materials and fabrics we select for production! Not even in recycled form.
This way we prevent microplastics from entering the environment when worn and washed. And we protect your skin from irritation and allergy triggers.
We are not only reducing our CO2 emissions , we are also promoting the climate with our company. Even though our clothing is more than 50% more energy efficient than conventional fashion, emissions are still generated. That is why we are working with Klim . Klim is committed to climate protection and soil health in Germany through regenerative agriculture. By promoting regenerative agriculture, the
Biodiversity in the fields, harvests are secured and
Farmers are building healthy, resilient soils for the next
generation.

For us, short distances mean fewer transport emissions. We source over 90% of our fabrics from Europe! We value European craftsmanship and know that the production of high-quality fabrics requires a lot of knowledge and experience. We want to support and maintain this local know-how.
The high standards for occupational safety and environmental protection that exist in Europe are another reason for purchasing locally. We can rely on the fact that the materials we use are manufactured to the highest standards.
As a small company, we cannot afford expensive certification that meets our high standards.
It is important to us to use certified materials! This ensures that environmental requirements and social standards are met along the
entire and complex production chain.
We send our packages climate-neutrally with DHL Gogreen. Of course, this creates emissions, but these are offset by investments in global climate protection projects. Our packaging is made of 70% recycled cardboard and 30% FSC-certified wood. We also do not use plastic bags or foil.
To avoid returns, we explain our sizes and cuts on our homepage. If that is not enough, you can contact us by phone for further questions. We want to avoid incorrect purchases and returns.
We manufacture our collections in Europe.
We only work with companies whose employees are employed under fair working conditions, such as compliance with high safety standards and fair pay. We check these companies based on our values and our " Code of Conduct " to which we are committed.
We also work with independent seamstresses who can organize their time freely, are paid above the standard wage and can contribute their ideas to our company.
By producing in Europe , we have short transport routes and can avoid unnecessary emissions. Neither the raw materials nor our clothing travel around the world before they end up in our customers' wardrobes.
