YOUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT
Eucalyptus - Tencel
Tencel, also known as lyocell, is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. It is made from eucalyptus from sustainably managed forests. The production process of Tencel is water and energy efficient, and almost all solvents used are reused, making the process very clean. Tencel is biodegradable and has a soft, breathable structure that provides comfort. It requires less water than many other fibers, such as cotton, and has a low carbon footprint.
Bamboo
Bamboo has many great features. It grows very fast and needs little water doing so. The plantations don’t require much attention since no irrigation is needed nor any tractors to work the land.
No pesticides or fertilizers are used whatsoever and the plant prevents erosion in the soil. Bamboo also removes harmful gasses such as CO2 from the air, much more than, for example, cotton or trees do.
YOUR OWN FOOTPRINT
Besides the fact that our socks feel exceptionally soft, the texture of both bamboo and eucalyptus ensures better regulation of warmth and absorbs moisture faster. Any unpleasant odors are neutralized because of the antibacterial effect.
1 PAIR = 1 TREE
We plant eucalyptus, bamboo or a tree back into nature for each pair of socks that you buy. In this way we compensate for the material we use and help combating climate change.
