Let’s face it—making activewear has an environmental footprint. And, as much as we love the idea of an all-natural gym set, we also know that performance and sustainability must go hand in hand.
So, do we throw in the towel? Absolutely not.
Instead of backing down, we’re stepping up to make our activewear as clean and low-impact as possible. Because let’s be honest—nobody needs another brand that talks the talk without walking the walk.
And at Nuttch, we’re all about striding—comfortably, of course—towards a better planet. And we do our best. Here’s how.
Materials
So, what materials do we use?
Ever wondered who’s behind your favorite activewear and how it’s made? Spoiler alert: it’s a lot more important than you might think.
Making activewear, our way.
This is how your favorite Nuttch activewear comes to life. It’s a journey of passion, precision, and a deep commitment to the planet. Let’s walk you through it step by step.
step 1
The quest for the perfect yarn
It all starts with the yarn—but not just any yarn. At Nuttch, we’re picky for a good reason. We scour the globe for GRS-certified recycled yarns that meet our sky-high standards for sustainability and performance. This is where science meets style—we select yarns that not only have a minimal environmental footprint but also pack the punch needed for your active lifestyle. It’s a meticulous process, but hey, perfection takes time.
step 2
The magic of knitting
Next, we bring our chosen yarns to life in a process that’s as innovative as inspiring. Our local partner, nestled in the same production district, takes the lead. Picture this: nylon yarn flowing into state-of-the-art knitting machines, crafting garments from top to bottom in one seamless piece. It minimizes waste and slashes our carbon footprint. And those intricate, hand-sewn details? They’re the work of local artisans, infusing each piece with a touch of human perfection.
step 3
Dyeing, but make it clean
Color brings our activewear to life, but not at the planet’s expense. Our dyeing process is a model of eco-responsibility. We’re talking about strict regulation of chemicals to protect both humans and habitats. Our partner factory is a wizard in water management, operating within a closed-loop system that treats and reuses water like the precious resource it is. This production stage is powered by eco-friendly machines and a healthy dose of solar energy and meets the rigorous OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certification. It’s clean, green, and everything in between.
We really want to make a change, and crafting amazing activewear is just the beginning. At Nuttch, we’re driven by the belief that to truly make an impact, we need to extend our efforts beyond our products and into the heart of our planet.
wow, thank you for reading all that!
What’s next? Always more.
Achieving carbon-neutral certification isn’t our victory lap—it’s just the warm-up. We’re on a never-ending quest to refine, reassess, and up our game. Why? Because the planet deserves better, and so do you.
