Shifting Gaia's Sustainable Rating Guide

Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (Avoid) to 5 (Top Choice). See How We Rate

The Shifting Gaia rating evaluates brands based on sustainable practices, ingredients and materials, and social responsibility, among others. These are a few factors influencing this brand's score:

sustainability practices

Nomadix has demonstrated a strong commitment to sustainability across its product lifecycle. The brand uses post-consumer recycled materials, notably transforming discarded plastic bottles into fibers that make up their durable towels. This closed-loop approach repurposes waste and reduces the demand for virgin plastic.


Nomadix is also Climate Neutral Certified, a designation that requires companies to measure, offset, and reduce their carbon footprint. Nomadix has taken these requirements further by developing a long-term plan to cut emissions by 50% by 2030, focusing on specific strategies like reducing reliance on air freight, transitioning to renewable energy at their headquarters, and working to eliminate virgin plastic from their production. These initiatives reflect a proactive and detailed approach to environmental responsibility. The clear goals and transparent reporting indicate significant commitment to reducing environmental impact.

ingredients & materials

Though Nomadix adheres to general safety standards, they do not hold specific third-party certifications that independently verify the non-toxicity of their materials. Acquiring certifications like OEKO-TEX or bluesign could further enhance consumer trust in the safety of their products by ensuring that all components meet strict human health and environmental standards.

social responsibility

Nomadix is a member of 1% for the Planet, which involves donating a portion of its sales to environmental causes, thereby contributing directly to ecological conservation and activism. Additionally, Nomadix claims responsible manufacturing, although detailed information on specific labor practices, fair wages, or supplier standards within its supply chain remains limited. Providing more transparency in these areas could further solidify Nomadix’s reputation as a socially responsible company, ensuring that ethical considerations extend across their production and supply chains.
