OUR PLAN TO RAISE THE BAR ON SUSTAINABLE ACTIVEWEAR
We define sustainability as the condition in which our entire planet and all of its inhabitants thrive. A condition which isn’t static but with constant improvement that makes the whole eco-system work better over time. Things improve and get better.
RENEWABLE MATERIALS
Merino wool is a natural fiber that is renewable. Wool is a sheep’s hair. And just like your hair, it keeps growing and growing and growing. Every time a sheep is shorn (gets a haircut) the wool grows back! This happens several times a year! Sound familiar?
Right now, due to our relatively small size, we have no other option than to use traditional nylon and spandex in our fabrications. We hate this! We are working diligently to source more sustainable versions of both.
Our goal is to have a product line that is 100% compostable by the end of 2022.
STANDARDS & TRANSPARENCY
OEKO-TEX 100
A worldwide, consistent, and independent certification system for textiles that limits the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. Less chemicals in the process means fewer chemicals against your skin and in the environment.
REACH COMPLIANCE
Created to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. It also promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.
WASTE REDUCTION
All of our Performance Innerwear is made using Santoni seamless knitting technology. Not only does this produce an exceptional product, but it also reduces fabric waste.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
We use recyclable paper, eco-friendly inks and recycled materials whenever possible.
Instead of using petroleum-based plastic bags, we ship all our products protected in a renewable plant-based clear material derived from corn called PLA. This material is both recyclable at capable facilities and fully compostable under the right conditions. PLA is commonly referred to as "Plant Plastic".
