Nokian Neulomon toiminta saatiin kaksi vuotta sitten pyörimään teidän tukenne ansiosta!

Premium-neuloksen kehitykseen Nokian Neulomo on ideaali kumppani, sillä tuotannolla on pitkäaikainen kokemus sekä erikoiskehrättyjenlankojen käytöstä että lyocell-kuitujen värjäyksestä ja painamisesta.

Suomalaisessa kaurapuuronvärisessä arjessa tulee harvoin pohdittua seksuaalioikeuksia. Useille meistä ne kuuluvat samaan itsestäänselvyyksien sarjaan kuin puhdas juomavesi tai aamulla pysäkille kurvaava bussi. Jos kuitenkin vesijohtovesi pannaan käyttökieltoon ja lakko pysäyttää joukkoliikenteen, seuraa vähintäänkin hämmennys ja pahimmillaan kaaos. Yhtälailla jos seksuaalioikeutemme otettaisiin meiltä pois, lakkaisi elämämme sellaisena kuin nyt siitä nautimme olemasta. *** Olen 40-vuotias suomalaisnainen. […]

Väestöliiton ja Weecosin Etuoikeus vai unelma? –kampanja on askel kohti tasa-arvoisempaa yhteiskuntaa, jossa kaikilla on oikeus näkyä ja kuulua juuri sellaisena kuin on ilman pelkoa syrjinnästä, leimautumisesta saatikka väkivallasta. Kampanjallamme haluamme Väestöliiton kanssa varmistaa, että seksuaalioikeudet ovat jokaisen perusoikeus tulevaisuudessa. Seksuaalioikeudet koskettavat jokaisen elämää, mutta niistä voi olla vaikea puhua. Monesti kiemurtelu johtuu siitä, että seksuaalioikeudet liitetään seksiin. […]
What does it cost to design and sell sustainably produced clothes? What are the different actors and what are their shares? Roughly, the TAUKO cost structure consists of four areas: manufacturing, brand, retail, and VAT. Each of them can be broken down into smaller parts, again with their particular cost structure. As an example, let’s […]
Weecos on perustettu edistämään solidaarisempaa ja tasa-arvoisempaa yhteiskuntaa. Se onnistuu yhteistyöllä ja ennakkoluulottomalla asenteella. Mitä kovempaa vastatuuli puhaltaa, sitä kovempaa haluamme laittaa vastaan. *** Tällä hetkellä konservatiiviset liikkeet polkevat maailmalla ihmisoikeuksia, ja erityisesti seksuaalioikeudet ovat maalitauluna. On kestämätöntä, että nykypäivänäkin on yhteiskuntia, joissa ihmiset eivät saa päättää omasta kehostaan, joutuvat pelkäämään ja peittelemään rakkauttaan tai […]
Seksuaalioikeuksilla tarkoitetaan vapautta päättää tietoisesti omaan seksuaalisuuteensa liittyvistä asioista, eli oikeutta määritellä kuka on, millainen haluaa olla ja miten haluaa tulla nähdyksi. Toisille tämä kaikki on etuoikeus, arkipäivää. Toisille se on vain unelmaa. *** Seksuaalioikeuksia pidetään Suomessa helposti itsestäänselvyytenä, vaikka kaikkien seksuaalioikeudet eivät toteudu täälläkään. Väestöliiton ja Weecosin yhteistyö on askel kohti tasa-arvoisempaa yhteiskuntaa, jossa […]

Oikeus perhesuunnitteluun, turvalliseen aborttiin tai tietoon seksuaalisuudesta ei ole itsestäänselvyys. Seksuaalioikeuksien hyssyttelyn sijaan ja konservatiivisten äänten vastavoimaksi tarvitaan seksuaalioikeuksien puolestapuhujia ja rohkeita keskustelijoita enemmän kuin koskaan. Weecos haluaa edistää yhteiskuntaa, jossa jokainen on oikeanlainen ja saa näkyä juuri sellaisena kuin on ilman pelkoa syrjinnästä, leimautumisesta saatikka väkivallasta. Siksi aloitamme yhteistyön Väestöliiton seksuaalioikeuksia edistävän yksikön kanssa. […]
Deadstock is a massive problem as stated last week. So we asked what happens to Papu Design’s, Uhana Design’s and NOUKI’s deadstock – what do they do with their collection’s leftovers? Or is there any leftover and how’s that possible? *** All three brands emphasize that the key element for not having products around the […]
The main raw material used for the TAUKO clothes is discarded textiles provided by textile service companies. These companies rent out textiles for hotels, restaurants and healthcare. Annually tons of bed linen and table clothes are discarded in Helsinki and Berlin, and the amount of textile waste for one textile service company is more than 150 kg per day. Very little […]
Ever wondered where do the rest of the summer tops go when the season is over? What about all the warm winter knits when spring arrives? What happens to the so-called deadstock? Textile waste is a huge problem, and it is created in many different phases of the clothing production. In addition to cutting waste, […]

SnapPap is a combination of cellulose and latex, in other words, paper and natural rubber, developed in Germany.

When Essi Enqvist saw Anna-Mari Niutanen’s mail, in 2015, she immediately thought “this is something I can’t miss!” Soon, the textile engineer and the Bachelor in Business met, and shared the vision of sustainable activewear – something they hadn’t found at the market. And so, Népra was founded. *** What’s Nepra’s “secret ingredient”, in other […]

For me, the most delightful thing about Christmas is to spend time with my dear family. We all live in a close distance, in the same city even, but still see each other rarely. I find myself extremely lucky to have my whole family around me and that’s not something that I take for granted. […]
