Some of the sustainable yarns in this collection include the Coolmax Ecomade, made 100 per cent with recycled pet bottles, which provides the same lasting freshness expected from the Coolmax brand; the EcoTherm, a polyester fibre, 100 per cent recycled plastic bottles; or recycled nylon from fishing nets. In addition, Lorpen has incorporated new colours such as the deep forest in hiker, the green lime in trail running and the charcoal or coral in running, the company said in a media statement.
The novelties of this collection respond to the sustainable production model of the brands that make up the Ternua group. Lorpen has already been taking steps in this direction for years. Thus, its factory has the environmental certification ISO 14001, its electrical energy comes from renewable sources and, in addition, the building is designed to take full advantage of the sunlight in order to avoid turning on lights during the day, no chemicals are used in the final products or excessive water is used in their processes, and its location (Etxalar) allows 95 per cent of its employees to go to work by bike or on foot.
Also, all the plastic bags used in the factory are made of low-density polyethylene, the material that requires the least energy for its production and is very easy to recycle, and all boxes contain 60 per cent recycled materials. At the product level, all the materials used are dyed and spun in Europe and have the Pekoe-Tex certificate, which guarantees that the socks do not contain harmful substances in any of their parts.
It should be remembered that the brand is a pioneer in designing the T3 layered technology for socks, in using the flat seam on the toe and in applying Polartec Power Stretch in most of its performance models. Recently it also presented its SLS technology (system of layers by differentiated and strategic areas based on the activity to be carried out) and in the upcoming collections, the brand will continue applying this process of implementation of sustainable yarns in more models, betting on eco-design and offering outdoor lovers a cutting-edge product in technology and respectful of the environment.
