Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate (RPET)

RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) is a standout material for sustainable apparel, offering a practical solution to reducing plastic waste and conserving resources. Made from recycled plastic bottles, RPET re-purposes waste that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans, turning it into high-quality fabric for clothing and accessories.

One of RPET’s key advantages is its reduced environmental impact compared to virgin polyester and other fabrics. Producing RPET uses 59% less energy than manufacturing new polyester and requires minimal water, making it a resource-efficient option. It also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as reusing existing plastic avoids the need for raw material extraction and processing.

RPET supports a circular economy by transforming waste into valuable products, helping to address the global plastic pollution crisis. On average, every kilogram of RPET fabric reuses around 60 discarded plastic bottles, actively diverting waste from ecosystems.

In addition to its eco-friendly production, RPET retains the durability, versatility, and comfort of traditional polyester. It offers a sustainable alternative without compromising performance, making it suitable for various applications, from activewear to everyday apparel like our corduroy hats.

Linen

Linen is an excellent alternative for sustainable apparel, combining eco-friendliness, durability, and natural charm. Made from flax plants, linen requires fewer resources to produce than many other fabrics, making it a low-impact and environmentally responsible choice.

Flax plants thrive in poor-quality soil and need little to no irrigation, relying primarily on rainwater. This significantly reduces water consumption compared to crops like cotton. Additionally, flax cultivation requires minimal pesticides and fertilizers, lowering the risk of chemical pollution and protecting surrounding ecosystems.

Linen is also fully biodegradable and renewable. Unlike synthetic fabrics that take centuries to decompose, linen naturally breaks down at the end of its life, leaving no harmful microplastics behind. Almost every part of the flax plant is utilized, from seeds for oil to fibers for textiles, ensuring minimal waste in the production process.

Beyond its eco-friendly attributes, linen is highly durable and long-lasting. Its strong fibers resist wear and tear, extending the lifespan of garments and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Linen’s breathability and moisture-wicking properties also make it versatile and comfortable for various climates.

For consumers prioritising sustainability, linen offers a stylish, natural, and resource-efficient option that aligns with eco-conscious values.
