Recycled & Sustainable Fabrics
|
|
|
We use 100% recycled polyester and sustainable fabric alternatives wherever possible. In 2022, 30% of new AFTCO sportswear offerings will be constructed from materials like ECONYL® regenerated nylon.
|
|
|
With a transition beginning in Spring 2022, nearly all sportswear hang tags will be made from traceable post-consumer recycled paper products and materials by 2023.
|
|
|
The installation of solar panels has rendered AFTCO HQ nearly energy self-sufficient. Our catalogs utilize recycled stock, paper consumption has decreased, and we're exploring additional areas of improvement.
|
|
|
Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck filled with plastic is dumped into our oceans from land-based sources. Programs like these—along with a reduction in plastic consumption—will help counteract this trend.
|
|
|
These actions make a positive impact on the environment our fish live in.
|
|
|
Reducing our landfill footprint ensures better water quality.
|
|
|
Using recycled polyester fabric, recycled plastic packaging and reducing our total plastic consumption helps to reduce the estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic that enter our ocean from land based sources each year.
|
|
|
Switching to recycled paper means less freshwater usage and lower carbon emissions.
