Sustainability has always been part of our brand’s DNA. As a company committed to preserving the environment, we are aware that the textile industry consumes large amount of water in its varied processing operations and we are committed to minimize our footprint. For our outdoor range, we use the Drydye® dyeing process, which drastically reduces the water consumption of the dyeing process.
Every second, one truckload of textiles is landfilled or incinerated. Globally, only around 20% of all used garments are collected for reuse or recycling. At ODLO we are committed to giving used sports clothes a second life, so they don’t end up polluting our landfills.AT
For the fifth consecutive year, ODLO has been awarded Leader status from the Fair Wear Foundation. This rating is given to selected clothing manufacturers for their efforts to continuously improve working conditions in their supply chains.
