MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS
Each materials we use in our socks has been fastidiously chosen and examined to fulfill our rigorous sturdiness requirements. We at present use pure and artificial fibers, and solely 3 forms of fiber per sock. As you’d count on, we’re actively investigating and testing new fibers and yarn blends that don’t seem in our present merchandise. We’ve prioritized Merino wool all through our product traces and our objective of manufacturing essentially the most responsibly made product is mirrored in our dedication to the success of the Accountable Wool Normal.
MERINO WOOL
Merino wool is crucial and relied upon fiber in our merchandise and accounted for 56% of our yarn consumption by weight final yr. For a few years we’ve prioritized using Merino wool solely from sheep that haven’t been uncovered to the follow of mulesing. In early 2019 we made a dedication to help the Accountable Wool Normal (RWS) and shift 100% of our wool provide to RWS-certified Merino wool.
RWS is a voluntary commonplace with strict pointers to guard animal welfare and cling to progressive, sustainable farm and land administration practices whereas sustaining traceability all through the complete provide chain.
Though the market share for RWS is simply estimated at ~1% of worldwide wool manufacturing, the variety of licensed sources has grown considerably over the past couple years. As we speak, 100% of the wool we procure is RWS-certified.
RECYCLED NYLON
We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber made out of pre-consumer industrial waste that will in any other case be landfilled or downcycled. Utilizing REPREVE as a substitute of virgin nylon permits us to offset using crude oil, benzene, cyclohexane, and different dangerous hydrocarbons which can be concerned within the manufacturing of virgin fiber. Briefly, utilizing recycled nylon conserves power and water and reduces greenhouse gasoline emissions from manufacturing. Whereas we intention to cut back our use of virgin nylon in our merchandise, recycled nylon solely accounted for 4% of our nylon consumption final yr.
We’re actively working with our suppliers to supply extra recycled nylon so we are able to incorporate it throughout our product traces. Up to now, nylons generated from pre-consumer waste materials have held up effectively in opposition to our sturdiness necessities, however we’d like to seek out an equally good supply of post-consumer recycled nylon or yarns that mix each pre and post-consumer nylon.
SPANDEX/ELASTANE
We use Lycra to supply elasticity, power, and form-fitting consolation. Whereas spandex accounts for not more than 5% of the fiber utilized in our completed product, it represented 27% of the uncooked supplies we procured final yr. Like standard nylon, spandex is derived from petroleum and has been essential to the efficiency of our merchandise. Sadly, it’s essentially the most tough materials in our fiber combine to switch with a recycled different.
With regards to synthetics, we’re primarily targeted on changing virgin nylon and polyester to recycled alternate options. Nonetheless, we’re additionally in search of useful, recycled spandex alternate options.
