American label Patagonia is best known for active gear for what they dub 'silent sports' (climbing, surfing, snowboarding, fly fishing and trail-running) but did you know the brand is committed to eco-conscious production too? It’s true – the label is based on a foundation of earth-friendly materials and practices. Take this hoody as proof. Because this long-sleeved layer is spun from a recycled blend of cotton and polyester. Meaning that it saves plastic from heading to landfills and gallons of water, too. Consider us impressed.
Patagonia started small, making tools for climbers. Now, it makes clothes for outdoor adventures from trail-running to skiing and uses its voice to campaign for the protection of nature. Patagonia itself has taken impressive steps to reduce its environmental impact and set a goal for complete carbon neutrality by 2025.
'Made with 55% recycled polyester and 45% recycled cotton. Recycled materials reduce waste, use fewer natural resources and have a lower environmental impact.'
