3 QUARTERS adheres to a strict zero-waste policy in their production and distribution. They try to collect everything (leftover threads) and try to come up with ways to use them further. For example, some of their products are made exclusively from their own offcuts. The design of their products is based on what they have available. If something is left begin, then they process them further, make them into stuffing for cushions, pet toys, among other things.

Their products are also circular – They have launches Project Zero where they offer free repairs and replacement of broken parts for life. If the product is beyond repair, they will disassemble it, keep all the good stuff and recycle everything else. Worn fabrics will be shredded in house and made into cushion stuffing.

Everything is done by hand, slowly and purposefully and honestly. They do not outsource any of their production and this way they can guarantee the best working conditions for everyone involved.
