Polyester is a manmade fiber, synthesized via a process called polymerization. 49% of the global fiber production is in polyester, the most widely used fiber in the apparel sector. Production of virgin polyester involves significant quantities of chemicals and raw materials that are toxic and causes unnecessary pollution.

10% of all ocean waste is estimated to be from nylon-based products. Recycled nylon can be processed into yarn from discarded fishing nets, hosiery, carpets and post-consumer plastics. It’s an expensive process but the technology is improving rapidly, reducing costs and increasing opportunities for future use.
• Diverts garbage from landfill and takes unwanted waste from our oceans and waterways which are heavy pollutants and destructive to the welfare of marine life.
• Recycled nylon requires far less energy to produce (water, electricity, fossil fuels) than virgin nylon.

Organic cotton is simply cotton grown in a way that doesn’t require the use of pesticides or toxic chemicals. To replace chemicals, organic cotton farming relies on growing cover crops, applying organic fertilizers and compost, using beneficial insects, or opting for human labor for weed control.
• Uses organic-approved pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides which have zero environmental or health impacts.
• Is more durable than conventional cotton and better for those with sensitive skin.
• Requires 88% less water than normal grown cotton, and 62% less energy during production.
