Our Impact Categories
-
Water scarcity is a relative concept based on the fact that water is a finite resource. The impact of water consumption increases depending on geographical area and type of water used in the value chain.
-
Abiotic depletion refers to the depletion of nonliving resources including oil, natural gas, and coal used as energy carriers. It corresponds to the use of natural resources that are not renewable.
-
The greenhouse effect of heat-trapping pollutants causes global warming. It is the absorption of sunlight and solar radiation by greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor. Instead of escaping into space, the heat is kept in the earth's atmosphere for years to centuries.
-
Percentage of known raw material, material, and article suppliers.
The emissions associated with shipping all materials and products across our supply chain from mile zero to our order fulfillment center are 93% less than the industry standard equivalents.*
Being HyperLocal™ means shorter distances that our materials and products have to travel which directly reduces our emissions.

Renewable Energy in El Salvador
29%
of the energy used in our El Salvador supply chain is on-site generated solar power.
68%
of the energy used in our El Salvador supply chain comes from renewable sources.
Eutrophication is the build up of phosphates and nitrates in an ecosystem caused by the use of pesticides, fertilizers, detergents, and other chemicals. The increase of these substances in water bodies leads to rapid algae growth, altering the ecosystem and reducing its biodiversity. This process eventually leads to oxygen depletion and ultimately, dead zones and fish kills.
Compared to the industry standard, Recover products contribute to 72% less eutrophication. We achieve this by utilizing 100% USDA-certified organic cotton for our Organic Collection, recycling up to 60% of water used in production at our El Salvador supply chain, and avoiding the use of dyes in our Eco, Classic & Fleece Collections.
