PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Organic Cotton: All of Patagonia's virgin cotton is grown with organic practices that eliminate the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides and GMO seeds, partnering with farmers working toward the highest organic cotton standard.
NetPlus: To help reduce plastic pollution, Patagonia are finding new ways to turn previously discarded forms of plastic, like fishing nets, into clothes that can be worn for generations. Their partner Bureo collects and transforms these nets from local fishers off the coast of South America - which helps protect wildlife, provide fishing communities with extra income, and reduce reliance on fossil fuels used to make plastic.
