Our “Planet� rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate SukkhaCitta “Good�. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses some lower-impact materials including Tencel Lyocell.
  • To minimise waste, it recycles all of its textile offcuts.
