BEHIND YOUR ATELJÉ

OUR STORY OUR VALUES SUSTAINABILITY FIND US IN STORE

At Ateljé, we consciously work towards being as sustainable as we can and reducing our impact on the planet. This is where we are at the end of 2023.

We aim to brighten up your day with cool, colourful and conscious accessories.

We are aware that making consumer goods is not sustainable at is core, but we motivate shopping responsibly and truly try to do our part in the best way possible as a young brand.

As one of our core missions - and something we believe has set us apart from competitors since the start - we're getting greener step by step, month by month.

While we feel that we're far from perfect yet, and sometimes struggle to find the right answers or ways of working too - we do think it's important to share steps along the way instead of just big end results. So here we go.

NEWLY RECYCLED PHONE CASES

Since 2023, all of our transparent cases have been made of recycled plastic. And, all of our colorful cases have been made of recycled plastic (TPU).

While we feel that we're far from perfect yet, and sometimes struggle to find the right answers or ways of working too - we do think it's important to share steps along the way instead of just big end results.

Our best seller Cloudy pearl and Pearl drop cords are now also fully made of recycled plastic (ABS).

As these are our best sellers, and we create these in the highest volume of our assortment as this is a Never Out of Stock style, this is directly impactful.

SHIPPING

We love to do it the Dutch way, by bike! That’s why we send 25% of our packages within the Netherlands with Cycloon. This delivery company is known as the leader in green and social delivery, something we really like!

Cycloon operates in more than sixty cities in the Netherlands and that number will continue to grow. For the areas that don’t work with Cycloon yet, we deliver with PostNL. When it comes to cross-border packages, we ship with DHL.

REDUCING RETURNS

With Ateljé, we’re trying to motivate our consumer to shop responsibly as well. The tendency to order a lot of items online to return most of them, impacts the environment heavily. That is one of the reasons we aren't able to offer free shipping and returns.

Do you have any tips, feedback or personal experience as a consumer? Let us know so we can improve our products, which could lead to fewer returns.

PACKAGING

If you purchase an Ateljé item, you'll see it comes in a FSC certified paper, plastic free packaging. They are recycleable and we've deliberately chosen a uni-material packaging because of that.

Our wrapping paper and stickers are made by the lovely people at No Issue, working exclusively with recycled paper and coloring with soy ink. Our stickers are plastic free.

For smaller deliveries, we've recently switched to grass paper envelopes, eliminating bubble wrap.

OUR MANUFACTURERS

Our factories qualify for the certifications that are important to us, such as BSCI, GRS, FSC & GOTS and have regular professional audits by external parties.

Since the beginning, we've worked with a Dutch production partner who has relationships with some of the best factories in China - the place where the tech accessory business is mostly based. Both of the factories Ateljé is produced in, have water treatment systems, solar panels and a strong waste policy in place.

OUR SUPPORT OF PLAN INTERNATIONAL: GIRLS FIRST

Ateljé’s founder Yara Michels is a proud ambassador of Plan International. Change a girl's life, and she will change the world, is a shared vision between them that we are passionate about at Ateljé.

Plan International is a Girls First organisation, meaning they focus on the wellbeing and human rights of girls and women firstly. It allows anyone to donate to specific programs - from fighting against child marriages to improving menstrual health worldwide, to the right for girls' education. At Ateljé, we make a yearly donation on the International Day of the Girl.

OUR OFFICE RESPONSIBILITY

Our office is energy-efficient, running on green energy but we also have quite a bit of second hand furniture.

Albeit small, our own, daily human actions as a team make a difference too. After all, we're in the office more days than not! We bike to our Amsterdam office, only drive electric when we use a car for work, bring our own refill water bottles, recycle our coffee capsules, eat vegetarian at the office. We promote a largely paper free office using digital and cloud solutions.

Did we miss anything or do you have suggestions on how we can improve our green game? We’d love to hear from you!
