Materials
 |
Organic Cotton This type of cotton is grown without the use of harmful pesticides and fertilisers, which can pollute soil and water. Organic cotton is also typically produced using less water and energy than conventional cotton. |
-
Recycled polyester: This material is made from post-consumer waste such as plastic bottles, which reduces the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills and oceans. Recycled polyester also requires less energy to produce than virgin polyester.
-
Tencel: This fabric is made from eucalyptus trees, which are grown without irrigation or pesticides. Tencel is produced using a closed-loop manufacturing process, which means that the solvents used in production are recycled and reused.
-
Hemp: This plant requires less water and fewer pesticides than conventional cotton, making it a more sustainable option. Hemp fabric is also durable and breathable, making it great for activewear.
-
Bamboo: Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that requires little water and no pesticides to grow. It can be made into a soft, breathable fabric that's ideal for sportswear.
