RENEWABLE MATERIALS
Merino wool is a renewable natural fiber. It’s sheep’s “hair”—and just like your hair, it never stops growing. Every time a sheep is shorn (gets a haircut), the wool grows back. This happens regularly whenever their coat grows too long. Sound familiar? We do currently use small amounts of traditional nylon and elastane to create stretch and durability. We are working diligently to source more sustainable versions of both materials. We aim to have a product line that is 100% compostable by the end of 2025.
STANDARDS
ZQ GROWER STANDARD
Based in New Zealand, the ZQ Grower Standard continues to push boundaries and challenge existing farm practices to ensure that our wool meets the highest standards when it comes to the ethical treatment of animals and sustainable farm practices.
responsible wool standard
The RWS recognizes the best practices in animal welfare and land management. Animals must be treated ethically and workers must have safe working conditions and be treated in a socially responsible, dignified manner.
REACH COMPLIANCE
Created to improve the protection of human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. It promotes alternative methods for the hazard assessment of substances in order to reduce the number of tests on animals.
TRANSPARENCY
We are constantly working to make our products (and our company) more sustainable. Part of holding ourselves accountable is staying 100% transparent about everything we do. If you ever have a question about our sourcing or our practices, please reach out at info@branwyn.com.
WASTE REDUCTION
All of our Performance Innerwear is made using Santoni seamless knitting technology. Not only does this produce an exceptional product, but it also reduces fabric waste by avoiding the standard mass manufacturing practice of cutting from large pieces of fabric and leaving what’s left to be thrown in the trash.
THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
We opt for glassine bags as our primary product packaging and rely on kraft mailers for shipping purposes.
These selections mirror our unwavering dedication to sustainability. Glassine bags are entirely biodegradable and recyclable, swiftly breaking down and minimizing long-term waste. On the other hand, kraft mailers, crafted from recycled materials, excel not only in durability for shipping but also in eco-friendliness.
Collectively, these packaging choices play a pivotal role in fostering a more environmentally conscious approach to packaging and shipping, aligning with our vision for a greener planet.
