Fabric scraps are repurposed into baby mittens, bedding fillers, and craft materials, ensuring that no valuable raw material goes to waste.
Organic Materials
All garments are made from certified organic fibers like merino wool, silk, and cotton, promoting eco-friendly farming practices that protect soil health, animal welfare, and biodiversity.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Ruskovilla uses Green PE packaging made from ethanol, a by-product of sugar production, and participates in Finnish Packaging Recycling Ltd. for responsible waste management.
