Closed product lifecycle

YOVA has adopted a closed product lifecycle approach, which is a cornerstone of our ethical production practices. This means that we design our products with their entire lifecycle in mind, from creation to disposal. At the end of their useful life, our products can be composted in just twelve weeks, promoting circularity and reducing waste. Alternatively, they can be upcycled or recycled, contributing to a more sustainable fashion industry.

Certified natural materials

At the heart of YOVA's ethical production is the responsible sourcing of materials. We are committed to using materials that are derived from certified responsibly
managed forests. We ensure that our material choices do not contribute to deforestation or harm to natural ecosystems. FSC certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide  environmental, social and economic benefits.
