Nothing New

Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate Nothing New “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses a medium proportion of lower-impact materials including recycled materials.
• It uses low impact materials that help limit the chemicals, water, and wastewater in its supply chain.
• It uses recycled packaging.
• While it donates used clothes to charity, there’s no evidence it minimises textile waste in its supply chain.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Here we rate Nothing New “Not Good Enough”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• There’s no evidence it has a Code of Conduct.
• It sources its final stage of production from countries with extreme risk of labour abuse.
• It partly traces its supply chain including the final and some of the second production stages.
• There’s no evidence it ensures workers are paid living wages in its supply chain.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Nothing New “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

• It uses recycled leather in all of its leather products.
• It doesn’t appear to use wool, down, fur, angora, exotic animal skin, or exotic animal hair.
