We know that finding sustainable clothing can be difficult, and sometimes finding sustainable activewear can be even harder! Luckily we have some tips to help get you started.
1. Understand your impact. It takes 2,000 gallons of water alone to create a pair of jeans! Fast fashion is a huge problem, resulting in mass produced clothing that statistically we don't even wear for more than 35 days. First off, commit to purchasing quality pieces.
2. Make informed choices. Do the research to make sure the brand is committed to sustainability, uses recycled products, and has a more local supply chain. We partnered with a leader in this space, Hemp Black. Known for their innovative hemp technology that infuses full-spectrum hemp extract with over 85% recycled nylon to help eliminate odors, the pieces last. Bonus: their Impact Collection is made from start to finish within a 500-mile radius of the Southeast U.S.
3. Recycle, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Repurpose
Investing in activewear built to last will help you check off the five ‘R’s’ of sustainability! Happy sustainable shopping!
