Certifications & Accreditations
At Nutshell, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We're proud to take meaningful steps toward reducing our impact by sourcing more of our materials sustainably, including certified recycled and organic fabrics. Every bag we create is designed with purpose, crafted from natural materials, and backed by globally recognised certifications that ensure ethical, safe, and responsible production.
Our Materials Story
This year, we’ve expanded our range with 13 new bags made from natural, low-impact, undyed jute and certified recycled and organic fabrics. Recycled and organic cotton offers the natural benefits of conventional cotton while significantly lowering environmental impact.
Our full collection now includes a range of 31 bags featuring:
§ 100% Cotton
§ 100% Certified Recycled Cotton
§ 100% Certified Organic Cotton
§ 100% Jute
All our recycled and organic products are certified under GOTS and GRS, ensuring full transparency and integrity from raw material to the finished product.
Circular by Design
Our products are simple by design, durable, and crafted from natural materials. Focused on circularity, our bags are made to last and are highly recyclable.
Product Safety
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is the world's leading chemical safety certification testing textiles for harmful substances. 100% of our products are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, ensuring they are safe for the skin.
Ethical Supply Chains
We’re committed to raising the bar for ethical standards across our supply chain. That means partnering exclusively with suppliers who meet rigorous social criteria, ensuring every Nutshell bag is made with fair labour, safe working conditions, and responsible manufacturing.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is an internationally recognised organic textile standard. GOTS ensures the organic chain of custody of textiles from the raw materials through environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, all the way to our business practices and the end-product, to provide credible assurance to the consumer.
The Global Recycled Standard (GRS) set the criteria for the third-party certification of recycled materials and chain of custody. The GRS also includes a higher 50% minimum recycled content percentage and additional strict social and environmental requirements.
Sedex is one of the world’s leading ethical trade membership organisations, working with businesses to improve working conditions in global supply chains. We use Sedex to audit our factories for assurance that high international social standards are met.
The Amfori Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is an industry-driven movement that monitors and assesses workplace standards across our global supply chain.
Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) is an independent body that gives certification to our factories that meet criteria in relation to facilities, production, and working practices for employees.
We are proud to be certified to the OEKO-Tex Standard 100, one of the world’s most trusted labels for textile safety. This certification means every component of our bags, from the fabrics to the smallest accessories, has been independently tested and verified to be free from over 1,000 harmful substances. We choose OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certification to ensure our products are safe for you, but also meet rigorous international standards for human and environmental health. This commitment reflects our dedication to transparency, quality, and responsible production at every stage.
