In line with our tradition, superior quality and craftsmanship form the basis of everything we do at Streamlines. We have made a commitment to do everything we possibly can to reduce the ecological footprint of our brand. In every decision we make, we consider the long-term impact on our people, partners, and the planet.
We use mainly natural fibers in our garments and minimize the use of synthetic materials from production to packaging. Our Streamlines skis combine the ski industry`s most ecofriendly materials and processes.
Packaging:
We strive to avoid the use of synthetic materials in all stages of the product’s life cycle from production to packaging. One of our top priorities is to find eco-friendly alternatives to plastic whenever possible. That’s why our clothes is packed in recyclable paper bags and boxes when they are shipped from our factory to our warehouse, and from our warehouse to your doormat.
We choose local subcontractors when possible, and all textiles are made in Europe. Our skis are handmade in Sweden, and the production is powered by 100 percent renewable energy. We are looking for proven partners focusing on quality, welfare and good working conditions.
Warehouse – Norway:
Our small warehouse KANMER is located in Årnes, a small town in Norway. KANMER has a strong social profile and helps people with disabilities to find and maintain meaningful careers. We greatly appreciate to cooperate with KANMER.
The most sustainable products are those that last over time. In line with the family tradition, we offer repairs to extend the life of both skis and textile products.
To make this possible, we store fabric scraps and yarn which can be sent to you on request. You can either stop by our local tailor, or you can send your garment to us to be repaired. We want to make sure you can wear your clothes and enjoy your skies on as many adventures as possible. When your clothes or skis are all worn out, send it to us for recycling
Merino wool is a natural fiber that is environmentally friendly, biodegradable and an excellent thermoregulator. Naturally lighter and softer than any other wool, merino wool is easy to wear next to the skin and keeps your body at a comfortable temperature in any weather conditions. Given these outstanding qualities, merino wool is widely used in high-performance outdoor clothing. Our mulesing free merino wool origins from Australia.
Alpaca is a natural and biodegradable fiber that comes from Alpacas, a fluffy animal from the South American branch of the camel family. Alpaca is hypoallergenic, breathable, moisture wicking, and has a high durability strength. Alpacas have a light environmental footprint because they feed mostly on native grassland and do not decimate natural vegetation. Their soft, padded feet are not harsh on the terrain, allowing them to freely graze without destroying the ecosystem.
To avoid using synthetic fibers in our garment, we searched the market for a sustainable high-performance fabric to use in our anoraks. We landed on Ventile, the most effective, natural, all-weather cotton textile. Ventile cotton is a tough but soft fabric made from long-staple cotton. Its chief attributes are its soft hand, windproof quality, and high breathability. It works excellent in cool-to-cold, dry conditions and its perfect for windy and snowy days in the slopes. The fabric has been developed in England since 1943 and the production is subject to some of the most stringent regulations in the world.
