KINOA’S EFFORTS TO BE A GREEN COMPANIE

Our products are all organics certified or eco-friendly products.

All Kinoa products are imported from Europe by sea. Truly, although far less polluting than air freight, sea transportation has a negative environmental impact. But fortunately (or unfortunately) vessels come back almost empty from Europe to China so, with or without our shipments, the impact would be the same.

For our deliveries:
we are re-using our supplier’s cartons for our mail orders. We use only paper bags (no plastic) for deliveries.
We send electronic invoices by e-mail to customers and we avoid printing them when possible. Our products are delivered using public transportation and HK post office.

In our office:
we use recycled papers, inks printer and we are recycling the paper.
We use “green” detergents, ban air conditioning and use energy saving bulbs.
We do not use air freight and do not sell frozen products.
We switch off printers and computers during breaks and at night. Generally speaking online retail companies have a lower foot print than shops.

We finance tree planting with DBgreen to try to compensate for the carbon emission for our activity

 

 

 

Why Kinoa ?

 

We founded this company because we are aware of global warning and the impact of toxic food on health.

Mum of two kids, I try reduce the pollution impact on my babies health using only organic cosmetics and green nappies, give them organic food. We do not use microwave ovens, pay attention to additives in food and candies or ban plastic baby bottles. I try to do my best for them despite the terrible air pollution of HK!
