Responsible Materials. Considered Sourcing. Purposeful Products.
At Kaliqa, we take a practical approach to sustainability—focusing on material choices, responsible sourcing and product longevity, while working with manufacturing partners to meet the requirements of each buyer and application.
We believe sustainability claims should be clear, relevant and supported by appropriate information. Our approach focuses on three areas: what the product is made from, how it is sourced and how it is designed to remain useful.
OUR COMMITMENT
Every step guided by responsible practices
Natural Materials
Our current focus is on cotton canvas and jute—natural, plant-derived fibres widely used in reusable bag applications. End-of-life characteristics depend on the specific material, construction, finishing and additional components selected.
- Jute is a naturally derived plant fibre widely used in reusable bag applications.
- Certified and recycled material options may be sourced for specific products and qualifying requirements, subject to availability and applicable documentation.
- Dyeing and finishing options can be discussed according to product requirements and applicable material specifications.
Considered Production Practices
Where available and appropriate to the product, we work with manufacturing partners offering options such as reduced-plastic packaging, efficient packing and improved production practices. Requirements can be discussed and evaluated for individual projects.
- Reduced-plastic packaging options
- Efficient carton and pallet utilisation
- Production practices discussed according to project requirements
Designed for Reuse
We encourage product specifications that support repeated use, with construction, fabric weight, stitching and finishing selected according to the intended application.
Appropriate Fabric Weight
Fabric weight is selected according to the intended use and construction.
Reinforced Construction
Stitching and stress points can be specified according to product requirements.
Care Considerations
Care and maintenance requirements can be considered during product development.
Sustainability That Fits the Product
What one reusable bag replaces
Material Choice
Cotton canvas and jute options selected according to application and specification.
Product Longevity
Construction and fabric weight considered for intended use and repeat usage.
Packaging
Reduced-plastic and efficient packaging options can be explored where suitable.
Documentation
Applicable material or certification documentation can be discussed and provided where available.
