SUSTAINABLE - ETHICAL - RESPONSIBLE

Within our control is the choice of fabrics, our manufacturing partners and suppliers as well as our transport providers. Every decision impacts the sustainability credentials of our clothing. 

ETHICAL PARTNER SELECTION
W&E have taken time to know our partners, meet their staff, and visit their facilities. Currently we only use two manufacturing partners, both are family run businesses and both have over 20 years of experience in the textiles industry. With only two partners, it allows us to maintain an ability to control every element of our supply chain, to maintain the highest standards and to restrict our carbon footprint as much as possible. Naturally, our choices to date have also been based on quality and performance.

RECYCLED MATERIALS

W&E use recycled polyester, taking plastic bottles from our oceans and landfill, and transforming them into high performance fabrics. Polyester is the most commonly used fabric on the planet and is a form of plastic made from petroleum products and coal. While its performance attributes are know in sport, how its made is less so. 

ORGANIC MATERIALS

W&E source 100% organic cotton to produce our products, using only biological fertilizers and natural pesticides. All processes (e.g. dyeing & printing) are environmentally friendly.

By using organic produced materials it means cleaner rivers and and helps prevent pollution of ground water. This is key to preserve both thriving wildlife and biodiversity. In addition, organic farming rebuilds soil and improves water absorption, preventing times of water shortage and make farmers less vulnerable to climate change.

ALIGNMENT NOW & GOING FORWARD
W&E believe our partners share the same ethos and are helping us evolve to find more sustainable solutions.
In addition, relationships with sustainable pioneers and universities allows W&E to evolve our offering.
