Animal Welfare

Overall Rating
Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate KasuReKids “Good” overall. The brand’s commitment to using sustainable materials, minimizing waste, and manufacturing closer to home is commendable. However, there are areas where improvement is needed, such as ensuring workers are paid fair wages and having a clear Code of Conduct in place. KasuReKids has the potential to further enhance its sustainability efforts and make a positive impact on the environment and society.
