Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we source our raw materials from?
All products are made with upcycled materials, such as second-handed clothes collected from the community, and unused fabrics from garment factories in Sri Lanka.
Are there any hygiene issues with upcyled materials?
The majority of our patchwork fabrics are sourced straight from the cutting board of garment factories. We use their excess fabric and scraps to create truly zero-waste solutions. Additionally, we also accept clothing donations from the community. Donors are required sanitize materials prior to donation. Items that do not meet quality control are returned to donors.
To ensure product safety, our company performs another round of cleaning and disinfecting to ensure hygiene and safety..
How can I purchase / pre-order the products?
Please go to the “Upcycled Store” page to select your favourite products. As all of our products are handmade, each item must be pre-ordered.
You can pre-order by adding products to the cart and paying the deposit (50% of the price), which is shown as the sales price. Unfortunately, as we are a small social enterprise, the deposit is required to keep us going in order to create and ship your product. Further instructions on delivery time, fulfilment, and paying the full price will be sent through email. Please fill out the interest form or email us at greenlifegene@gmail.com if you have any question.
