Our Sustainability Mission
We strive to find the intersection between comfort, style, affordability, and sustainability. This is no easy task.
At Truly Wild we work hard to find the most eco-friendly clothing options available, including GOTS certified organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester made from discarded plastic water bottles, and upcycled cotton. Our shipping envelopes, labels, and minimal packaging are made from 100% recycled materials, are compostable, and recyclable.
We're constantly trying to find better ways to help sustain the incredible diversity of life on earth. Together we can make a difference.
Organic Cotton
We only use 100% organic cotton, eliminating the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This makes the world a safer place for birds and the insects they depend on.
Recycled Poly Fiber
Our polyester is made from recycled plastic water bottles. Each shirts saves 4-6 plastic water bottles from reaching the landfill or the ocean.
Hemp
Hemp is an earth-friendly crop. It naturally resists pests, requires less water, has a high yield per acre, and returns nutrients to the soil. We only use mechanically fibrillated hemp, not solvent-processed viscose hemp.
Fabrics we DON'T use and why
Conventional Cotton
Conventionally grown cotton uses large amounts of pesticides and fertilizers. Pesticides kill the insects that birds need to raise their young.
Virgin Polyester
Polyester is a plastic derived from petroleum. While polyester fabric has many excellent qualities, we prefer not to use virgin polyester which requires the extraction of ever more fossil fuels. Instead we always use recycled polyester.
Viscose Bamboo
While bamboo is an eco-friendly crop, the viscose process of creating rayon fabrics from bamboo (or hemp for that matter) uses many toxic chemicals and creates substantial pollution. When mechanical processes become commercially available, we will consider bamboo again!
