Where we started.
Where we're heading.

2019

We kept 13 million water bottles from landfills by using partially recycled main body fabric in our 600D packs.

2020

We introduced the Recycled SuperBreak® - each pack containing the equivalent of 20 water bottles.*

Our Surplus Collection was first released, which rescued excess materials before they could hit the factory floor and go to waste.

2021

We introduced our first Undyed collection consisting of the Undyed Recycled SuperBreak® and the Undyed Recycled Waistpack.

2022

Over 80% of our styles are made with 100% recycled main body fabric.**

We helped the equivalent of 76 million plastic bottles* avoid landfill by using 100% recycled 600D main body fabric for 70% of our styles** and recycled materials for all of our 200D lining.

By switching our lining to 100% recycled polyester and leaving it undyed, we reduced our water consumption by 1 million gallons.***

2023

We eliminated around 200kg of single use poly delivery bags swapping them out of a natural fibre alternative.

This new delivery bag is 'Kerb side recyclable' and is made from paper so breaks down in the environment with little risk to the natural environment.
