About Manitober

After more than ten years in the clothing industry, Marcus founded Manitober with a desire to do it better. Manitober is a sustainable clothing brand for children, teens and grown-ups.

All products are made from ecologically and socially acceptable materials under fair conditions in Europe.

The challenge to address: How to reduce the impact of shipping?

Single-use packaging, even sourced from renewable materials, is an important contribution to the overall carbon and waste footprint of a product.

Manitober aims to exist sustainably, not only in the aspect of ethical production but also in the entire product lifecycle.

For their online store, Manitober was searching for a circular packaging concept in line with their holistic sustainable approach, minimizing the waste and impact during shipping and logistics.
