We’re committed to stretching our resources further: Say hello to renewable and recycled fibers from The LYCRA Company.
Our sustainable range — which includes plant-based fibers, certified recycled polyester, and more — is driving the future of fashion, delivering the same performance as our standard fibers with more eco-friendly materials.
Across the recycled and renewable product range, we’re reducing our carbon footprint, recycling textile waste, and making use of materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill such as old plastic bottles. Plus, we’re prioritizing third-party sustainability certifications across our product portfolio — so you can feel confident in our commitment to traceability and responsible production.
Below, browse recycled and renewable fibers and other textile solutions across our family of brands, and learn more about our third-party certifications. Find the best product to make your next collection more sustainable.
