Olio Shop
What is the Olio Sustainable Shop?
The Olio Shop is where you can purchase eco-friendly merchandise that aligns with our mission to reduce waste and promote sustainability. The shop is powered by Teemill, a platform that specialises in sustainable, circular fashion, ensuring every product is made responsibly.
How are the products in the shop sustainable?
All products in the Olio shop are made using organic cotton and renewable energy. Teemill also operates on a circular production model, meaning items are designed to be remade into new products at the end of their life, reducing waste and conserving resources. Additionally, the packaging is plastic-free and fully recyclable.
How does circular fashion work?
Teemill’s circular fashion system allows customers to return old items, which are then recycled into new products. This reduces the demand for new raw materials and keeps items from ending up in landfills. When you’re done with your Olio merchandise, you can send it back to Teemill to be turned into something new.
How are the prices set?
At Olio, we want to make sustainable, planet-friendly products accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve set the prices of all items in the shop to the lowest possible. We’re committed to promoting sustainability, not profit. In most cases, we’re taking zero to minimal profit from sales.
Is Olio making a profit from the shop?
No, Olio is not focused on making a profit from the shop. We’ve priced items at the lowest amount possible to cover production and fulfillment costs. Any minimal profit made will be reinvested into our community-driven initiatives and our mission to reduce waste.
How do I know my purchase is making a positive impact?
By purchasing from Olio's shop, you are supporting sustainable fashion and helping to spread the word about Olio’s imperative waste-busting mission.
How can I further reduce waste after purchasing from the Olio shop?
Once you no longer need an item, instead of discarding it, you can return it to Teemill for recycling, ensuring it will be remade into new products. You’ll receive store credit for doing so, further encouraging sustainable consumption.
Are there any hidden environmental costs in shipping?
Teemill ships use low-impact, plastic-free packaging, and their supply chain is designed to minimise emissions. While some emissions are unavoidable, Teemill takes steps to offset these where possible.
