PROCESS TRANSPARENCY

At Road to Mars, our commitment to process transparency is foundational. We ensure clarity at every stage of our operations—from the sourcing of our materials to the final production of our garments and services. We closely monitor our suppliers for adherence to sustainable practices and fair labor standards, and meticulously select only those materials that align with our strict environmental and health standards, including zero plastics and non-toxic substances. Our goal is to craft products that are not only environmentally and socially responsible but also serve as catalysts for positive change in the fashion industry.

QUALITY CONTROL

We are committed to producing high-quality products that embody excellence in comfort, design, and durability. Our quality control process begins with the initial concept, ensuring that each piece not only meets but exceeds our standards and aligns with individual needs and values. We meticulously oversee the construction of each product, from start to finish, to guarantee that the final product not only reflects our commitment to quality but also resonates with our customers' expectations.

GARMENT CARE

At Road to Mars, we view each garment as a piece of art, deserving careful preservation to maintain its pristine condition and minimise environmental impact. By treating our products with respect, you extend their lifespan and reduce their carbon footprint, enjoying high-quality, sustainable fashion for longer. Our commitment to garment care is a reflection of our dedication to quality, sustainability, and respect for both our products and our planet.

  • Wash Less: To maintain the integrity of your garments, wash them only when necessary. This not only preserves the fabric but also reduces water usage, aligning with sustainable luxury standards.

    Fill Your Washing Machine: When washing is required, ensure your machine is full to maximize efficiency. This method conserves both water and energy, upholding environmental commitments without compromising garment care.

    Care for Washing Specifics: Always adhere to the care labels on each garment. Use gentle cycles and appropriate detergents to protect the fabrics and enhance their longevity.

    Reduce Microplastics: Utilise a washing bag for synthetic fabrics to minimise the release of microplastics into water systems. Opting for natural fibers where possible can also reduce environmental impact.

    Following these guidelines will help you care for your garments responsibly while embracing the values of luxury fashion sustainability.

End of a cycle

Being responsible at the end of a garment's life cycle is crucial for environmental sustainability. Approximately 75% of discarded garments end up in landfills, emitting methane—a potent greenhouse gas. To combat this, garments made from 100% natural fibers, which constitute over 90% of our offerings, can be composted effectively. Simply remove any non-natural components, shred the fabric, and mix it into your compost or garden soil. For synthetic blends, repurposing them as cleaning rags or creative projects can extend their usefulness and mitigate environmental impacts.

GIVING BACK

At Road to Mars, giving back responsibly is fundamental to our mission. We've partnered with Greenspark to foster a greener, more sustainable future. Each purchase not only contributes to tree planting but also aids in plastic rescue and carbon offset initiatives, enhancing our environmental impact.
