Ecksand Sustainability

Our Commitment Since 2009

At Ecksand, sustainability isn't a passing trend, it's embedded in our core. Since our founding in 2009, we've been dedicated to crafting jewelry responsibly, long before it became an industry standard. Exceptional design should nurture, not harm, the world around us. This principle informs every piece we create.

HOW ECKSAND PRIORITIZES SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability at Ecksand goes beyond promises. It is embedded in every facet of our work. By overseeing the entire production process within our Montreal atelier, we consistently uphold our rigorous environmental standards while ensuring exceptional craftsmanship.

Our atelier in Montreal operates on 100% renewable energy, achieving zero emissions. By harnessing clean energy sources, we significantly minimize our carbon footprint and contribute positively to the planet’s future.

Purposeful Waste Management

At Ecksand, waste management isn't an afterthought, it's a core practice. We implement advanced filtration systems to purify water before it reenters the environment. Specialized vacuum systems also capture polishing compounds, preventing harmful pollutants from entering the ecosystem.

Packaging with Purpose

Ecksand's eco-friendly packaging reflects our commitment to sustainability and design excellence. Crafted entirely from recycled materials, our packaging reduces waste, conserves resources, and aligns with our environmental values. Each box and bag is thoughtfully designed for reuse or recycling, further extending their lifecycle and minimizing our environmental impact.

Jewelry Repurposing and Recycling

Our commitment extends beyond initial creation. Ecksand provides jewelry repurposing services, allowing you to transform your existing pieces into fresh designs. By recycling gold and offering diamond upgrade programs, we ensure your jewelry remains cherished and purposeful for generations, further supporting sustainable consumption and reducing waste.

Responsible Diamond Sourcing

Ecksand carefully selects both natural and lab-grown diamonds that meet our stringent ethical standards. Responsibly mined natural diamonds directly support economic growth in communities like Botswana, improving livelihoods and infrastructure. For those who prefer lab-grown diamonds, we conduct thorough evaluations to ensure they align with our high environmental and ethical benchmarks. Our rigorous selection process ensures that every stone, natural or lab-grown, adheres to Ecksand’s standards of responsibility and quality.

At Ecksand, sustainability is a living commitment, reflected in every decision we make and every piece we create.

Our Mission as Proud Canadian Jewellers

At Ecksand, sustainability is more than our mission, it's our identity. As proud Canadian artisans, we aim to serve as a beacon of sustainable practices, inspiring both our industry and communities around the globe. Together, we are shaping a more ethical, transparent, and eco-conscious future, one exceptional piece of jewelry at a time.
