Part 6/8:
While Teemu claims to have planted over 13 million trees to promote sustainability, the overwhelming reality is quite different. The environmental footprint of shipping vast quantities of cheap, often poorly-made products internationally is significant. Each item sold contributes to carbon emissions, raising serious questions about the company's true commitment to sustainable practices.
Despite promoting seemingly eco-friendly products, the lack of transparency about materials used and conditions under which items are produced undermines that narrative. Many items are wrapped in excessive plastic, and the platform lacks initiatives targeting carbon cuts or resource-saving manufacturing practices.
