We use unlined, un-insulated envelope mailers made in the USA from 40-90% post-consumer recycled paper. These envelope mailers are 100% recyclable and compostable and printed with water based inks. Our hang-tags are printed on uncoated, FSC certified paper and/or recycled paper.
For products manufactured in 2021 and earlier, we use biodegradable plastic garment bags, known as poly bags, to protect the apparel.
Starting in January 2022, we have stopped using poly bags for over 90% of our products, instead using the roll-tie method with a strand of biodegradable raffia to secure the garment in transit. This initiative will eliminate hundreds of thousands of poly bags from our supply chain. We still use poly bags for sports bras and all zippered jackets because they need additional protection in transit from our manufacturing partners to our distribution center and then on to you. Our target is to be 100% free of individual poly bags by Spring 2024.
We continue to look for ways we can further reduce our footprint and impact on the environment, including our packaging, which you can read more about in Our Responsibility.
