Quiet Town's Sustainability Rating
Acceptable
Raw Materials
Commons couldn't find information on the overall proportion of materials this brand uses. For a small brand, we assume a mix of material types. Quiet Town appears to use a majority of lower emissions materials such as upcycled cotton, linen, organic cotton, as well as high emissions materials including EVA plastic. It uses materials that have certifications from GOTS. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials. It has an eco-friendly product collection called Re:Canvas Projects which leverages leftover and deadstock materials to create new products like shower curtains and pillows.
Energy Use & Production
Quiet Town doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Quiet Town sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.
Packaging & Distribution
Quiet Town appears to use primarily compostable packaging. It doesn't appear to have made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in its packaging.
Repair & Care
Quiet Town doesn't offer repair services or support. Quiet Town doesn't offer a warranty.
Take Back Programs
Quiet Town doesn't offer a take back program to help keep its products out of landfill.
Slow Fashion
Quiet Town offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items seasonally each year. It limits overproduction and waste via reusing waste/deadstock.
Marketing
Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.
Transparency & Reporting
Quiet Town has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its website. Like many small brands with limited resources, it doesn't publish an annual sustainability report.
Emissions Tracking
Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking. This process can be an expensive undertaking for small brands.
Targets & Offsets
Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand offsets any emissions.
Supply Chain & Labor
Quiet Town publishes information about its supply chain partners, disclosing their geographic locations across Tier 1 (final production manufacturing). It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Quiet Town doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.
Quiet Town is rated Acceptable because it has started to improve its products and production process, but still has room to grow.
It appears to use a majority of lower emissions materials such as upcycled cotton, linen, organic cotton, as well as high emissions materials including EVA plastic. The brand has an eco-friendly product collection called Re:Canvas Projects which leverages leftover and deadstock materials to create new products like shower curtains and pillows.
However, it has no strategic programs or services to help keep its products out of landfills, and no stated targets to improve its materials. Though it's a small brand with limited resources, we hope to see Quiet Town share strategic plans to reduce or offset its emissions, information on its renewable energy strategy or reporting on its emissions measurement and reduction efforts.
