Sustainability
Sustainability is at the very core of Oratia's mission. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices shines through in every aspect of our production. Our underwear is crafted from certified organic cotton, bearing the prestigious Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification. This guarantees that our entire supply chain adheres to environmentally responsible practices, from the earliest stages of agriculture to the final manufacturing steps.
Our swimwear, sourced from Stock to Recycle POL, employs eco-conscious paints that not only reduce water consumption but also prevent the release of harmful chemicals into the environment. Moreover, our sustainable production processes are designed to minimize energy usage, water wastage, and waste generation. This commitment extends to our labor practices, ensuring a fair and safe working environment for all.
By choosing Oratia, you're not only supporting the Greek economy but also making a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint associated with transportation. We're passionate about preserving our environment and leaving a lasting positive impact, one stitch at a time.
Production and fabrics
Oratia underwear represents more than just sustainability; it embodies a commitment to local production, with the proud label 'Made in Greece.' We are a wholly Greek company, from the initial stages of production to the final product. This approach not only supports the Greek economy but also ensures that every employee works in a safe environment under better conditions, free from child labor and earning living wages.
Our dedication to quality extends to the fabrics we use, which are sourced from a certified Greek knitting mill in Northern Greece, near Kilkis. This certification is your assurance that no harmful chemicals, synthetic pesticides, toxic substances, or fertilizers were involved in the cotton's cultivation, and it has not undergone chlorination. At Oratia, we're committed to preserving the environment, fostering ethical labor practices, and delivering superior quality, all while proudly bearing the 'Made in Greece' badge.
The packaging
We take pride in our commitment to environmental responsibility by utilizing 100% recycled plastic packaging sourced from a certified production company. This conscientious choice aligns with our sustainability ethos and has a positive ripple effect. By reducing the size of shipping volumes, we contribute to lower CO2 emissions during transport. At Oratia, we believe in making every step of our process as eco-friendly as possible, from product creation to the journey to your doorstep.
