A sock with a purpose

Why our socks contain plastic fibres

Standard manufacturing systems rely on the use of ‘additional’ plastic fibres in sock construction for strength, stretch and durability.  It’s a habit that has become interwoven with the production of socks and many other garments. Regulations in UK law currently allow this ‘additional’ plastic to be hidden from consumers.

How our socks can force change

Our aim is to be the first sock producer to fully declare all plastic content, as a protest and a campaign for change. Buying the sock shows consumers want producers to be truthful about the environmental impact of their clothing. A growing community that demands total honesty on labels will set new standards helping to accelerate transition to sustainable alternatives.

 

Do Not Bin.  Plastic content will contribute to landfill pollution. Donate.

Socks are the most requested item by homeless charities. Give your socks a longer life by donating them, washed and in good condition.
