Sustainability

Welcome to Our Sustainability Commitment

At Ostomy Innovations, we are committed to making a difference in the world, one undergarment at a time. We believe in providing high-quality products that not only offer comfort and peace of mind, but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Our ostomy undergarments are crafted with care and it starts with the fabric we use.

Eco-friendly Fabric Choice

Our ostomy undergarments are made from a blend of 95% bamboo and 5% spandex fabric. We chose this fabric not only because of its antimicrobial and wicking properties, but also for its exceptional softness and comfort. Bamboo fabric is also a better choice in terms of its impact on the environment. Here is why bamboo blends are at the heart of our sustainability commitment:

  1. Bamboo, the Wonder plant
    • Sustainable Growth Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet, making it a highly sustainable resource. It requires minimal water and no pesticides to thrive.
    • Renewable Bamboo is a renewable resource because it regrows quickly after harvest, making it an eco-friendly choice for textile production.
    • Low Environmental Impact Bamboo’s growth doesn’t deplete the soil, and it helps combat soil erosion. It also absorbs more carbon dioxide and releases more oxygen than many other plants.
    • Biodegradable Bamboo fabric is biodegradable, reducing the burden of waste on the environment.
    • Bamboo Fabric Production While it takes 5,000 gallons of water to make 2 pounds of cotton fabric; it only takes 130 gallons of water to make 3 pounds of bamboo fabric.
  1. Spandex, Durable and Flexible
    • Long-lasting The inclusion of spandex ensures that our ostomy undergarments are durable and long-lasting, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
    • Comfort and Fit Spandex provides the flexibility and stretch needed for a comfortable and secure fit, ensuring that our products serve their intended purpose effectively.

Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

We are proud to play our part in reducing the fashion industry’s environmental footprint. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond fabric choice:

  1. USA Made Product
    • We opt for local production as purchasing USA-made products reduces the carbon footprint associated with international shipping, contributing to a more sustainable planet.
    • Purchasing products made in the USA helps create jobs, fosters innovation, and strengthens local communities.
    • Supporting domestic manufacturing upholds ethical labor practices which should always be a concern when deciding on where you purchase your clothing.
    • Buying USA made products ensures fair wages for American workers, promotes social responsibility and the well-being for the workers in the factory.

Ultimately, purchasing USA made products is not just a choice; it’s a commitment to economic growth, quality assurance, and the well-being of all involved in the process.

While our product is made in the USA, it is important to note that bamboo is an imported product.

2.  Packaging

    • We use recyclable and/or eco-friendly packaging materials to further reduce our environmental impact. Whenever possible, we opt for local production to support our community and minimize transportation-related emissions.
