Carbon Neutrality
Carbon neutral leather goods
Reducing the carbon footprint is at the heart of eco-design.
Each step in the creation of your handbag or your small leather goods is studied, analyzed,
and is the subject of various choices and arbitrations, the objective of which is to reduce this footprint as much as possible:
∗ the choice of raw materials, which is the item with the greatest environmental impact
discover the materials used by 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE
∗ the choice their manufacturing country
discover 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s 360° Made-in-France approach
∗ the choice of the making and the confection
discover Arts and Crafts
∗ the choice of transport and deliveries
∗ the choice of packaging
∗ the choice of our energy and our web host
Local sourcing network & Soft transport
The best way to reduce the carbon footprint related to transport is to radically reduce the distances over which materials and products are transported.
Short circuit and Made-in-France:
With the vast majority of raw materials manufactured in France, as well as the 100% French way, 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE drastically reduces its emissions.
Soft deliveries:
Deliveries in Paris and its inner suburbs are made by cargo bike. We are studying soft delivery solutions in France and around the world.
Digital footprint
Eco-responsible internet host, carbon neutral :
The host of 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s website is not French, it is Swiss. It was chosen because it is the only one to have a 360 ° eco-responsible approach, in line with 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE’s values :
- 200% compensation for its emissions
- 100% renewable electricity
- optimization of its continuous resources
- energy efficiency
- contribution to Nature protection NGOs
Code without no-code:
- No-Code solutions are increasingly developed allowing better accessibility of digital tools, which is a real inclusion factor
- 3.8 ALLEE FAUVE nevertheless made the choice to avoid using them, as these tools are not yet transparent on their environmental impact
Monitoring of the carbon footprint & compensation
Life cycle analysis :
A study is underway to determine the carbon footprint of the production of each handbag and leather goods
Carbon compensation :
Pending the results of this analysis, three trees are planted for each handbag, and one three for each wallet and key-ring.
This is a “intelligent” trees plantation, which is made with respect for biodiversity, by an NGO.
