They aim to implement a zero-waste approach when it comes to their small business. That's why they use as many upcycled, recycled, and reused scraps and materials for their bags as possible
GRÜNBAG works with employees who receive at least the minimum wage according to the Danish labor market law, and have the opportunity to negotiate their wages. They are also guaranteed contractual holidays and fair working hours
GRÜNBAG bags are mainly hand-cut and sewn by highly specialized seamstresses. Their products are currently handmade in their own atelier in the GRÜNBAG headquarters. For bigger orders, that extend past local capacity (mostly within the B2B part of their business), they outsource the work to a small group of sewers in Poland

GRÜNBAG bags are produced in Denmark and Poland. Some recycled polyester fabric is produced in China
