Sustainability

At Cholpan, sustainability begins with responsibility. As a handmade brand producing in limited quantities, our first commitment is to avoid overproduction. Every piece is created intentionally, in small batches, to minimise excess stock and unnecessary waste.

  • Our signature acrylic beads are entirely upcycled plastic. We collaborate with designers to reclaim surplus beads from past collections and source carefully selected deadstock materials from suppliers. By giving existing plastic materials a second life, we reduce the demand for new plastic production.

  • We consciously choose upcycled plastic over recycled plastic. While recycled materials are widely used, their industrial processing can require significant water consumption. For our scale and production model, repurposing existing materials is a lower-impact solution.

  • Inside our bags, linings are made from upcycled fabrics sourced from clothing designers. High-quality textiles that would otherwise be discarded are transformed into functional and refined interiors.

Our Packacing

Our dust bags are 100% cotton and OEKO-TEX certified. Shipping mailers are made from recycled materials, and our unbranded ribbons are designed for reuse. Our tote bags are crafted from 100% cotton and are OEKO-TEX certified.
