Manufacturing anything new creates emissions. Especially for products you only use now and then, it makes more sense (for both your pocket, and for the environment) to rent instead of buy.
Renting is cheaper than buying a mannequin - a great option for low-commitment, sporadic use's!
Roz and the team at Mannakin are committed to sustainability in everything they do. The business is founded on reusing products mainly through renting. While there are some new products for sale the team also sell recycled items and always encourage customers to pick the most sustainable option.
Mannakin are based in the UK and where possible ship in the most environmentally friendly way. Where practical loads are sent in bulk to minimise transport journeys. Given that new Mannequien´s are often made in China the carbon cost of shipping them to the UK is high compared to local sourcing of rental products.
Renting items has significantly lower carbon intensity than buying (based on normal usage)
Mannakin uses low carbon and circular economy principles.
It ranks a B+ on the Circulytics Scorecard which measures

The Team at Mannakin are adopting low carbon principles in their business
The calculations for the carbon footprint of the different items has been based on the CO2 emissions per kilogram of different types of materials and products. These are high level estimates and should be treated as guidelines
It is not a Life Cycle Assessment. A detailed Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) will give a more accurate number and incorporate additional factors. While an LCA can provide a more specific carbon footprint the basic principles we have applied are still valid.
