Our Planet
We know that a sustainable future is the only future. And we’re on a journey to help create it. For our community. For our people. And for our planet. How are we doing it? Read on...
Our Raw Materials
It all starts with our raw materials. In 2021, our products made up 43% of our carbon footprint so we’re committed to using more recycled materials and sustainably sourced natural fibres. And we’re always pushing to do better.
Where we're at
From recycled fishing nets to natural yarns, we’re on a journey to create clothing that cares both for your body and the planet. So far:
91% of our swimwear is made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon. (Summer 2021)
We’ve transformed 1 million + plastic bottles into our bestselling leggings.
We use organic and recycled cotton in many of our products. Including our super soft Italian fleeces, our After Class Sweatshirts and our Gary Luxe Fleece Pants.
Our Mindful range is made from Lenzing Modal, a responsibly sourced wood fibre. For every tree felled, Lenzing plants two more.
This is the start. But certainly not the end.
"1 MILLION + PLASTIC BOTTLES HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO OUR BESTSELLING LEGGINGS"
Where we're going
By 2025, over 50% of the yarn we use will be sustainable. This means it will either be recycled or made from responsibly sourced natural fibres.
Our transparency promise? We commit to 100% transparency on all fabric compositions.
Our Waste
Right now, only 1% of material used to make clothes is recycled into new clothes. And every second, one garbage truck of textiles gets thrown into landfill or an incinerator. (source: Ellen Macarthur Foundation, A New Textiles Economy: Redesigning Fashion’s Future, 2017)
We’re taking a stand. And it starts with the 3 Rs: Reduce. Recycle. Reuse.
Where we're at
We’re on a mission to turn waste into something useful. From creating reusable packaging to recycle-your-leggings schemes, we’re giving new life to things that would otherwise be thrown away.
Together, we’ve kept 10 000+ pairs of leggings out of landfill since 2019. Help us save more by bringing your unwanted pairs (from any brand) in-store and we’ll recycle them with SOEX. How We're Working with SOEX | Sweaty Betty
The bag that your online order comes in is either fully recyclable or compostable (check your bag) and is made from up to 65% recycled material. And we’re working on an even better solution, so watch this space.
We’re big on recycled materials. And you’ll find it in all the visual merchandising in our stores and on our product swing tags.
"WE’VE KEPT 10 000+ PAIRS OF LEGGINGS OUT OF LANDFILL SINCE 2019"
Where we're going
By 2022, we aim to broaden our recycling scheme, making it accessible to customers who don’t have easy access to our stores.
We plan to offer repair, resale or rehome services for certain products by 2025.
From early 2022, we’ll use 100% recycled and recyclable garment bags to protect our products. By the end of 2022, all our packaging will be fully sustainable.
And we aim to get rid of all single use plastic from our business by 2025.
Our Carbon Footprint
The clothing and footwear industry currently contribute around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As a global brand we want to be part of the solution, not the problem.
Water and Chemicals
Textile manufacturing uses clean water at various stages of the process. And our aim is to find water-efficient solutions across our whole supply chain, making sure no harmful chemicals get into the environment.
