NIKIN x VIVA CON AGUA: BE PART OF THE MOVEMENT
"Tree by Tree meets Drop by Drop": NIKIN and Viva con Agua are working together for a positive impact - for nature as well as for people - and are teaming up for a collaboration. While NIKIN focuses on ecological aspects, such as tree planting and the production of sustainable fashion, Viva con Agua focuses on social aspects and provides people with access to clean drinking water and sanitary facilities. The Impact Bracelet symbolizes this collaboration and the desire to share our values. For every bracelet sold, a Tree tree is planted with One Tree Planted in Uganda and Viva con Agua's One WASH Program is supported. Be a part of this positive impact and work for a greener world where everyone has access to water. #shareyourimpact
The Impact Bracelet
Pendant: #tide ocean material®
The #tide ocean material® is made from ocean plastic. Local volunteers collect plastic from the ocean in different places around the world and make reuse possible.
STRAP: Better on you than in the sea
Just like the pendant, the strap is made from recycled marine plastic, from OceanYarn® by Meister and made in Switzerland.
Packaging: Reuse material
We didn't cut down a single Tree for the packaging of your Impact Bracelet, because the paper is made from sugar cane waste from the industry.
Logos: #shareyourimpact
Show your values by wearing the Impact Bracelet. With the Tree from NIKIN and the logo of Viva con Agua you stand for sustainability and social commitment.
THE PROJECTS
NIKIN and Viva con Agua share the same values, which is why both support a project in Uganda through the sale of the Impact Bracelet. For each bracelet sold, 1 Tree is planted in a One Tree Planted reforestation project and 1 Swiss franc goes to the One WASH program supported by Viva con Agua.
NIKINUganda 2021 - Palorinya Refugee Settlement
From April 2022, NIKIN will plant 149,000 trees in western Uganda with One Tree Planted and local organisations. The forests are being created in the area of the Palorinya Refugee Settlement, a refugee camp with currently about 166,000 people. Why are trees needed there? The trees will provide shade, relieve pressure on existing trees and strengthen food security. The long-term goal is also to increase the use of firewood from controlled sources and to raise awareness among the local population.
Viva con Agua: One WASH Program in Uganda
With the One WASH Programme in Uganda, Viva con Agua provides access to clean drinking water, sanitation and hygiene for communities in Karamoja and West Nile. In detail, this means: the construction and commissioning of 6 solar-powered water supply systems at schools and in the communities, 18 new wells, the training of water user committees in the respective locations and communities and a total of 20,000 trees are being reforested to preserve natural watersheds.
CURRENT CONTRIBUTIONS
naNea - The Swiss material innovation for true circularity
Sustainability in fashion goes far beyond the use of organic cotton. With the introduction of naNea, a biodegradable polyester developed by OceanSafe, NIKIN is focusing on an innovative solution that consistently implements the circular concept in the textile industry. This pioneering material offers the opportunity to make fashion more sustainable and circular.
"Circular Cashback": Nature is the main beneficiary of this business model
From now on, something big is changing at NIKIN: we not only offer sustainable clothes, but also buy them back as soon as they are worn out. With our new "Circular Cashback" program, we are taking another step towards a completely circular future that prevents waste in the clothing industry and conserves resources for nature.
Fashion with a future: Why the circular economy is more than just recycling
Recycling is an essential part of global sustainability efforts. It reduces waste, conserves valuable resources and reduces environmental impact. However, in the fashion industry, which is known for its high environmental costs, recycling alone is not the ultimate solution. What is needed is a systemic shift towards a circular economy that closes the raw material loop and offers long-term solutions for the fashion industry. But what does a circular economy mean compared to previous systems and why is it so crucial?
Our tree planting project in October and November: reforestation of mangrove forests on the coast of Kenya
Together with our community, we are committed to tree planting projects around the world. In October and November, we are supporting a project with veritree in the Likoni estuary in Kwale, Kenya. Restoring valuable mangrove forests not only strengthens coastal communities, but also protects biodiversity. You can find out more about this project in this blog.
