Sustainability
DARKAI'S COMMITMENT TO INCLUSIVITY FOSTERS A DIVERSE AND VIBRANT COMMUNITY WHERE EVERY VOICE IS HEARD, AND EVERY STORY MATTERS.
LOCAL ARTISANS
We strive to minimize our ecological footprint and value human rights above all. We actively support and engage with local artisans, preserving traditional craftsmanship while providing them with growth opportunities.
METAL ALLOYS RECYCLING
We prioritize the usage of recycled metal alloys, giving them a second life and that so far covered all our production needs. Stainless steel is often recycled from medical grade tools, construction materials, jewelry and components while 18 carats gold is recycled from excesses of production, jewelry inventories and components. Brass and Silver are mainly recycled from jewelry inventories, metal wirings, home objects and more. We focus on recycling these precious resources that will soon face scarcity in nature as recycled metals do not lack any quality or properties compared to newly combined alloys.
CONSCIOUS MINING
DARKAI mainly employs cubic zirconia stones which are the result of controlled chemical reactions therefore do not impact the environment or labor in any way. Precious stones like diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds etc. derive from conscious mining in the country where the mines are located. Our mining partners comply with employment regulations and environment sustainability.
PACKAGING & DISPLAY
The entire DARKAI packaging and display line is made of recycled acrylic compounds. The sponges fit inside the packaging and display is made of an artificial foam that when melted can to be recycled and used to create new units. The travel bag is made of recycled rubberized bubble bags.
SHIPPING & RETURNS
We are determined to use carbon offsetting and low emission shipments that implies conscious routes and bio-fuels as guaranteed by the shipping partner.
