The Amble Short's polyester content is made from 100% recycled polyester derived from multiple sources of post-consumer and post-industrial waste including PET water bottles and textile waste. Ultimately, the recycled poly fabric in the Amble Short requires less energy and oil, produces less pollutants, and reduces landfill waste compared to other, non-renewable fabric sources. The 12% organic cotton content in the Amble Short from certified 100% organically grown cotton, which does not use pesticides, herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or defoliants at any point in its growth and development. To understand the impact this makes on a micro and macro scale, we have to take a closer at the numbers: Currently, 9.4 billion pounds of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are used annually in the US alone. This breaks down to using roughly 1/3 pound of synthetic fertilizers to grow one pound of raw cotton in the US, and it takes just under one pound of raw cotton to make one t-shirt. Of course, research shows that the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers pollute rivers, streams, and air, as well as cause irreparable damage to one of our most vital resources—soil. In a nutshell, we hope the use of organic cotton across all of our garments will reduce, in a small way, the detrimental impact pesticides and fertilizers have on our environment.
While most of our products have robust recycling systems, the recycled polyester fabric used in the Amble Short is not able to be recycled at this time. Our intention is to have a recycling plan in place for this product and close the loop as soon as possible. Stay tuned.
