Choosing our materials consciously
Recycled polyester & nylon
We use recycled polyester for our outerwear garments and blend it with organic cotton for some of our sweatshirts and accessories. Since 2018, we have exclusively used recycled polyester made from post-consumer PET bottles, sourced mainly in China. Depending on the style, it takes between 38 to 95 plastic bottles of 550mL (the standard size of a bottle in China) to produce our jackets. For all our outerwear in recycled polyester, we use GRS certified fabrics. Just like with our organic cotton, we seek full traceability of our recycled polyester, including the origin of the PET bottles. In 2023, we visited collection points, spinners and factories in China to better understand our value chain and how the recycled materials come from waste. We also have an Operations Manager and Fabrics Manager in China whose expertise helps us ensure quality and supply chain integrity. For two of our outerwear styles, we use pre-consumer recycled nylon, made from industrial nylon yarn waste. This GRS certified fabric is durable and strong, while at the same time being extremely lightweight and soft on the skin.
