Recycled cotton is more environmentally responsible than regular cotton due to its reduced resource use and minimized waste.

Repurposing cotton waste avoids the need for water-intensive cotton farming practices, energy usage, and additional chemical inputs.

By using recycled cotton we can reduce soil degradation, water usage, deforestation, and wastewater pollution. It also allows us to divert waste from landfills and significantly lower a garment's overall environmental impact compared to conventional cotton.

According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, recycled cotton is a significant improvement over generic cotton in all impact categories including global warming, eutrophication, water scarcity, resource use, and chemistry.

Recycled cotton shares the same properties as conventional cotton but the shredding process shortens the fibres, requiring them to be blended with other cotton fibres. In our recycled collection, the shorter recycled cotton fibres are blended with a conventional cotton sourced from sustainable farming to enhance strength, durability, and comfort. 

Your purchase is your vote. Buying into recycled apparel tells manufacturers and brands like us that this can be a sustainable practice.
