PRODUCTION MATERIALS &
CONSUMABLES: CARBON REDUCTION
INITIATIVES
We know that that products and packaging
make up 92.2% of our scope 3 emissions.
This includes all outer SMI packaging, both
plastic poly bags and cardboard boxes, and
our own-brand ROKWEAR packaging. SMI
has already taken key steps to mitigate the
emissions across these activities.
• SMI is shifting from virgin polyester to postconsumer recycled polyester in ROKWEAR
eco products ECOROKWEAR to reduce
carbon emissions.
• We’ve also switched to FSC-certi昀椀ed
cardboard packaging for our gloves,
eliminating over 5 million plastic bags and
28,000kg of plastic. We plan to extend this
to more ROKWEAR products.

• We’re designing a new, streamlined
cardboard outer box for ROKWEAR
footwear products to reduce the amount
of cardboard per box, each box’s weight,
and to improve e昀케ciency when packing in
containers for transport.

PRODUCT PACKAGING:

ROKWEAR POLYBAGS:

• The boxes from our ROKWEAR footwear
products manufactured in Italy are made
from 70% recycled materials and use
water-based ink.
• We will continue exploring product
consolidation in packaging, aiming to pack
5–10 garments per bag where possible
to reduce inbound packaging within our
supply chain.
• SMI’s outer packaging is made from
90% recycled materials and are 100%
recyclable.
Now printed using plant based ink
SMI’s packaging were previously printed with petroleum
- based inks, which releases a higher level of Volatile
Organic Compounds which are more toxic to marine wildlife.
