Designing outdoor clothing and gear for the silent sports. The California brand established in 1973 aims to use their voice, business, and community to do something about our climate crisis

To date, Patagonia has funded five projects looking at solutions to ocean pollution from microfibers. They charged their own materials development team to identify fiber types and construction techniques that minimize shedding. To aid that effort, they commissioned a study from North Carolina State University to help them understand which characteristics in fabrics lead to microfiber release—and to developed a rapid test methodology to assess the potential of fabrics to shed during laundering. Since 2015, they've been investigating biodegradable synthetic fibers as a solution to microfiber shedding from washing garments

Since spring of 2020, Patagonia uses polybags to package their products, made of 100 percent recycled content which is Global Recycle Standard (GRS) certified

Patagonia has committed to numerous initiatives aimed at reducing their environmental impact across their business. The brand's self-imposed Earth tax, 1% for the Planet, provides support to environmental nonprofits working to defend our air, land, and water around the globe

Recycled polyester also known as rPET, is created by melting down existing plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. This fabric can be made from either post-industrial or post-consumer materials. For example, 5 water bottles yield enough fiber for one extra large T-shirt. This material repurposes existing plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill or the ocean. 

Recycled polyester’s sustainable production requires low resources and energy to produce, and contributes low CO2 emissions. It also reduces the need to extract crude oil and natural gas from the ground to make more plastic, which is much better for the Earth.

Recycled polyester has not much difference from virgin polyester. It exhibits high strength, durability, versatility, and performance, lasting long in your closet, and surviving expected wear and tear easily.

Garments from recycled polyester aim to be continuously recycled without degradation of quality, allowing for circularity.

A synthetic material. However, instead of utilizing new materials to craft the fabric (i.e. petroleum), recycled polyester makes use of existing plastic.
