People n Planet intro

Why we act on plastic

We take sustainability very seriously, and there are several reasons we avoid plastic-based fabrics like polyester, Spandex, nylon, and acrylic as much as possible. Yes, incorporating these materials, especially Spandex, changes the fabric's properties, giving that all to well-known stretch. However, it comes at a cost to the environment when it's made and when it's disposed of, even at the small percentages allowed by GOTS. 

To take this philosophy one step further, we have decided to partner up with CleanHub and fund the recovery of non-recyclable plastic waste in high-impact regions, before it can reach the ocean.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.

How we support local communities

By supporting waste collection, we improve lives in coastal communities and create safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

By working with CleanHub, we’re making sure 10,000 kg of plastic will never end up in our oceans. 🙌
