Clothing, furniture, mobile phones, computers… in short, everyday objects that we use each day are important for the development of new sustainability trends, and at Horse, we’ll tell you how you can transition not only to a more conscious lifestyle but also one that can be sustainable
A few years ago, we couldn’t have imagined the advances in sustainability, ecology, and social aspects that we are now accustomed to. And surely, the same will happen again in the future. But for now, we must not only get used to and update ourselves to what we have but also think about how we can always improve. That’s why today we bring you a selection of biodegradable products from different brands that we love. We hope you like them!
Below, we present four brands that stand out in sustainable fashion and whose products are all made from 100% biodegradable materials.
Thinking Mu, the sustainable clothing brand that cares not only for people
You may already know this brand born in Barcelona, which has become very famous in recent years for its materials and its work philosophy that places sustainability above all else. Creating unisex clothing with a strong message of care for the planet, animals, and people, that’s Thinking Mu.

It all started with a group of friends who ended up in the fashion industry by chance and, sharing values, decided to create a clothing brand in homage to their little Jack Russell, Mu. From their informal approach and their concern for changing the world emerged the idea of “Thinking,” which means much more than that; creating, sharing, caring, and their homage to “Mu,” but which also represents all the animals on the planet.

For Thinking Mu, there is no other way to see it. They conceive sustainability only in one way: by sourcing resources only from organic agriculture, promoting circularity of garments, meaning giving them a second life when they are no longer useful. Being transparent and detailing all the materials they use on their label, and lastly, always creating garments through fair trade for people, ecosystems, and animals.

Additionally, although it is one of the leading sustainable brands in Europe, it still has that personal and unique touch that makes it even more special. As the team explains:
We are a team of creative people from different disciplines who ask questions, raise our hands when we disagree with something, and think twice before choosing a fabric.
And, as it cannot be otherwise if you were born in the Mediterranean, the sun is their representative symbol, which is found in every corner, not only in clothing.
Magavica is a handbag brand that combines respect, design, and sustainability
Continuing with fashion but, this time, moving on to accessories. Magavica is a high-quality made-in-Spain accessories brand that will last for years in our wardrobe, but, that’s right, we don’t have to give up quality. Their designs are unique, exclusive, and timeless because they believe that we have the right, increasingly common, to consume luxury products that can be ecological and respectful. In addition to designing exclusive handbags for all seasons of the year, they also create accessories such as belts or bracelets.

Apart from working with natural materials that are biodegradable, they also work with leather. Leather that comes from the EU, from animals previously used for food consumption, and since they have not been contaminated in the manufacturing process, they are used for fashion production. Furthermore, being biodegradable materials, once they are no longer used and become waste, nature absorbs them, and they become more nutrients for and less waste for the Earth.

Sheedo leads sustainable stationery that is present in our daily lives, in our company, and in our most special moments
And as we’re not only going to talk about fashion, although we love it, we bring you another biodegradable proposal, but this time with seeds. Yes, Sheedo is a company that creates biodegradable and plantable stationery material, because inside the paper, there are hidden seeds of wildflowers, chamomile, vegetables, and much more. It has three sections in its company, Sheedo Life, where you can buy sustainable and plantable stationery gifts, Sheedo Studio, which are promotional stationery gifts for your company, and Sheedo Moments, where they create wedding invitations.

And apart from seeds, they also have sincerity and creativity in abundance.
We dreamed of paper that turned into a plant, and from dreaming so much, we made it come true.
And they did. With a unique illustration and color palette, you can always find them in Madrid.

Pela Case mobile phone cases, first on our smartphone, then, they become trees
And lastly, neither bags, clothes, nor cards… we explain which was the pioneering brand of biodegradable and compostable mobile phone cases: Pela Case. The famous Canadian compostable phone case brand collaborates with local farmers to create them.
It all started when Jeremy Lang, its founder, saw that his son found plastics on the beach where they vacationed, so he began to be aware of the dangers to which we are subjected every day by using plastic and letting those toxins into our homes. So he started thinking and researching, and he saw that what he could do was collect garbage and create a new product that would reduce the impact on our planet.

And Pela is not only an enterprising and wonderful brand because they think about the present, but they also want to be present in the future. That’s why here we leave you an example of what can be done with their products: a wonderful compost for our plants.

The brand from the beginning made its values very clear: Community; because without people, nothing would be possible. Creativity; because the “best,” nothing comes from creativity. Consciousness; because there is no other way to live than to be aware of our actions and decisions. And Courage; because they embrace courage, even if they have to make uncertain decisions because courage is necessary to change traditions and ways of life.
These are some of the brands that bet on sustainability and biodegradable products. Did you know them all?
