Zinzi is taking major steps to reduce its CO2 footprint. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Recycling in our production process is an important step in this regard. Because the precious metals silver and gold have the unique property of having the ability to be recycled indefinitely, without their quality deteriorating. All the gold and 75% of the silver we use in our jewellery comes from a recycled source. For example, we collect old defective Zinzi jewellery ourselves, but our unsold 'out of fashion' jewellery is also melted down. We do everything we can to prevent unnecessary waste of the most important raw materials. In addition, certified silver bars, made from recycled silver, are purchased by us, and closely monitored in our production process. By using recycled silver and gold, environmental costs (such as CO2 emissions and water consumption) are significantly reduced compared to mining new precious metals.

Zinzi likes to contribute to the environment. In addition to largely using recycled silver and recycled gold in our production, we also reduce our CO2 footprint by planting trees in Dutch and foreign forests.

Trees are the means of combating climate change. In this way Zinzi contributes to a better climate and more biodiversity in the Netherlands. Because every tree counts.

Zinzi plants trees in the Netherlands and abroad through 'Trees for All'. The 'Trees for All' foundation was established in 1999 and is the most experienced provider of sustainable forest projects in the Netherlands. 'Trees for All' meets the strict requirements of the CBF quality mark.

Zinzi works on its positive impact on the environment. That feels even better when wearing beautiful Zinzi jewellery or Zinzi watch.

Zinzi compensates 100% of the CO2 emissions caused by delivering a Zinzi package to you.

We contribute to a better environment by investing in sustainable Climate+ projects from Gold Standard. The Gold Standard quality mark is the best quality mark for climate projects. www.goldstandard.org

We will annually compensate the total annual CO2 emissions of our shipments throughout the Netherlands on 1 January. The first compensation will take place on January 1, 2022. Zinzi has already donated to Gold Standard, so that climate projects have already been helped and we ensure a better climate and environment.

What can you do?
Reduce returns and recycle packaging. And order from brands that make improving the environment a core business.

Zinzi considers it essential to reduce its environmental impact and is already taking significant steps to lower its CO2 footprint. Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Recycling in our production process is a crucial step in this regard. Because the precious metals silver and gold have the unique property of being infinitely recyclable without a decline in quality. All the gold and 75% of the silver used in our jewelry come from a recycled source. We collect old, defective Zinzi jewelry ourselves, and even our unsold 'out-of-fashion' pieces are melted down. All to prevent unnecessary waste of crucial resources. Additionally, we purchase certified silver bars, made from recycled silver, and closely monitor them in our production process. By using recycled silver and gold, environmental costs (such as CO2 emissions and water consumption) are significantly reduced compared to the extraction of new precious metals.

A significant part of the environmental impact of online shopping is the transportation of all deliveries, including those of Zinzi. We consider it crucial to minimize the impact on the Earth's climate. To reduce the CO2 emissions of our deliveries, we have chosen PostNL among others as our shipping partner.

CO2-neutral delivery
As of January 1, 2022, PostNL delivers all mail and parcels with net-zero CO2 emissions, from door to door! For more information, visit www.postnl.nl/duurzaamheid.

We also partner with DHL for fast and reliable delivery. DHL is on the way to becoming CO2-neutral by delivering a significant portion using 100% electric vehicles.

Beautifully Sustainable Packaging
The majority of our shipments are sustainably packaged in 100% recyclable cardboard envelopes made from FSC-certified cardboard. Additionally, we also use 100% biodegradable plastic envelopes. And with the easy adhesive system, both types can be used for return shipments.

Zinzi wants to take responsibility for its environmental impact. In addition to predominantly using recycled silver and gold in our production and CO2-neutral shipping, we also offset a portion of our CO2 footprint by planting trees in Dutch and foreign forests. This way, Zinzi contributes to a better climate and increased biodiversity in the Netherlands. Because every tree counts.

Zinzi plants trees in the Netherlands and abroad through 'Trees for All.' This foundation, 'Trees for All,' was established in 1999 and is the most experienced provider of sustainable forest projects in the Netherlands. 'Trees for All' meets the strict requirements of the CBF quality mark.

Together, we strive for a positive impact. Significant steps still need to be taken, but by closely examining our footprint and tackling challenges step by step, we will overcome them together. That feels even better when wearing beautiful Zinzi jewelry or Zinzi watch.
