Motel Rocks' Sustainability Rating

Fair


  • 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. Motel Rocks uses both lower emissions materials such as recycled cotton and recycled polyester, as well as high emissions materials including conventional cotton, polyester, viscose, and elastane. It uses materials that have certifications from OEKO-TEX. Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.


  • Energy Use & Production

    Motel Rocks doesn't share information on its energy strategy. Motel Rocks sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the textile industry.


  • Packaging & Distribution

    Motel Rocks has made efforts to reduce virgin plastic in its packaging, but it's unclear if it currently uses other materials or relies on plastic.


  • Repair & Care

    Motel Rocks doesn't offer repair services or support. Motel Rocks doesn't offer a warranty. It gives basic care instructions that can help extend product lifespan.


  • Take Back Programs

    Motel Rocks has a take back program called Motel Preloved. This program accepts the brand's own clothes for resale.


  • Slow Fashion

    Motel Rocks offers some products across multiple seasons but also releases new items frequently throughout the year. It limits overproduction and waste via batch production and reusing waste/deadstock.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Motel Rocks 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

    Motel Rocks publishes some information about its supply chain partners, but doesn't provide details on geography or traceability. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Motel Rocks has a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners, which can mitigate human and environmental risks. Commons couldn't find further information about this brand's supply chain and labor practices. We assume smaller brands operate according to industry standards.

Motel Rocks is rated Fair because it has started to improve its products and production process, but still has room to grow.

Motel Rocks takes responsibility for the full lifecycle of its products by offering a take back program for resale and reusing deadstock. It appears to use a mix of low and high emissions materials. However, Commons couldn't find any stated plans to increase low emissions materials and/or decrease synthetic materials.

Though it's a small brand, with likely limited resources, we hope to see it provide information on its renewable energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction efforts in the future.
