Q For Quinn's Sustainability Rating:
Fair
Q For Quinn is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and production process, but still has room to grow.
Q For Quinn uses a majority of lower emissions and/or certified materials in its products, specifically GOTS organic cotton, OEKO-TEX recycled poly, and RWS wool. It has plans to reduce its use of synthetic materials and further improve its materials footprint. The brand also uses 100% plastic-free packaging and focuses on using safe plant-based dyes.
However, Q For Quinn has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills. Though it's a small brand with limited resources, we hope to see it provide information on its renewable energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction efforts in the future.
