20% Recycled PET Sequins_
TSSC sequins are made from 20% recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) offering a more sustainable alternative to conventional sequins, which are made entirely from virgin plastics, often including PVC, which is harmful to human health during manufacture, use and disposal. Benefits of using a percentage of recycled plastic include: preservation of non-renewable fossil fuels, specifically oil; reduced energy requirements during manufacture and therefore reduced emissions; conservation of landfill space and/or reduction of toxic pollutants from incineration.

Environmental Commitment_
At The Sustainable Sequin Company, we're dedicated to minimising our carbon footprint and making a positive impact on our planet. We're actively working on measuring and reducing our environmental impact, and we'll be sharing our data and roadmap soon.
For every order placed, we plant a tree. We support carbon avoidance and capture projects, and maintain a 'Climate Action Workforce' through Ecologi. Additionally, we're proud members of 1% For The Planet, committing to giving back 1% of our earnings annually to environmental non-profits for a healthier planet.
We've assessed our historical use of synthetic plastics, both recycled and virgin, and are committed to funding the collection of at least this amount of plastic waste by the end of 2024. So far we have funded the collection of 1,000kg of ocean-bound plastic waste (equal to 50,000 plastic bottles) through Plastic Bank.
