MATERIALS IN OUR SOCKS Every material we use in our socks has been\ncarefully chosen and tested to meet our rigorous durability standards. We\ncurrently use natural and synthetic fibers, and only 3 types of fiber per\nsock. As you’d expect, we are actively investigating and testing new fibers\nand yarn blends that do not appear in our current products. We’ve prioritized\nMerino wool throughout our product lines and our goal of producing the most\nresponsibly made product is reflected in our commitment to the success of the\nResponsible Wool Standard. MERINO WOOL Merino wool is the most important and\nrelied upon fiber in our products and accounted for 56% of our yarn\nconsumption by weight last year. For many years we’ve prioritized the use of\nMerino wool exclusively from sheep that have not been exposed to the practice\nof mulesing. In early 2019 we made a commitment to support the Responsible\nWool Standard (RWS) and shift 100% of our wool supply to RWS-certified Merino\nwool. RWS is a voluntary standard with strict guidelines to protect animal\nwelfare and adhere to progressive, sustainable farm and land management\npractices while maintaining traceability throughout the entire supply chain.\nAlthough the market share for RWS is only estimated at ~1% of global wool\nproduction, the number of certified sources has grown substantially over the\nlast couple years. Today, 100% of the wool we procure is RWS-certified.\nRECYCLED NYLON We use REPREVE, a nylon 6 fiber made from pre-consumer\nindustrial waste that would otherwise be landfilled or downcycled. Using\nREPREVE instead of virgin nylon allows us to offset the use of crude oil,\nbenzene, cyclohexane, and other harmful hydrocarbons that are involved in the\nproduction of virgin fiber. In short, using recycled nylon conserves energy\nand water and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing. While we\naim to reduce our use of virgin nylon in our products, recycled nylon only\naccounted for 4% of our nylon consumption last year. We’re actively working\nwith our suppliers to source more recycled nylon so we can incorporate it\nacross our product lines. To date, nylons generated from pre-consumer waste\nmaterial have held up well against our durability requirements, but we’d like\nto find an equally good source of post-consumer recycled nylon or yarns that\nblend both pre and post-consumer nylon. SPANDEX\/ELASTANE We use Lycra to\nprovide elasticity, strength, and form-fitting comfort. While spandex accounts\nfor no more than 5% of the fiber used in our finished product, it represented\n27% of the raw materials we procured last year. Like conventional nylon,\nspandex is derived from petroleum and has been important to the performance of\nour products. Unfortunately, it’s the most difficult material in our fiber mix\nto replace with a recycled alternative. When it comes to synthetics, we’re\nprimarily focused on converting virgin nylon and polyester to recycled\nalternatives. However, we’re also looking for functional, recycled spandex\nalternatives.
