A cloud of white fibres on mud and wild plants

What your gear could teach you about yourself and beyond

For the outdoors enjoyers, waste matters. But it hasn't always been this way. In fact, the arrival of synthetic outdoor clothing coincided with a rush to the mountains, and things went downhill. From then on, plastic was in everything we put in the backpack, from hardware to disposable packaging. Only, we didn’t realize how hard a time it would give us.

100% plastic-free sportswear is no small feat

Plastic has served us well. It has become part of our lives. Even our sportswear is made of it. However, the convenience of synthetics has had major consequences.

Stop Recycling Plastic

Stop Recycling Plastic

As the Earth faces increasing pressure from high rates of resource extraction, post-consumption pollution is invading every corner of our living systems. Using resources more wisely is crucial. And before we ask ourselves how to recycle the plastic bag that holds our groceries, it's important to know whether it should and can be recycled at all.
