Eco Friendly Men’s Clothing

What Matters

How it’s made:

Labels and Certifications

In a world of outsourced labor, it’s difficult to know who made the clothes and whether the laborers were paid and treated fairly. Here are a few tips to help.

Made in the USA: This isn’t a guarantee, as you can find sweat shops in the US, we do have somewhat better laws to ensure fair laborer treatment and pay. One caveat: “Made in the Mariana Islands, USA.” doesn’t apply: Norther Mariana Islands are a commonwealth, but do not have minimum wage laws. Young women after often lured there with the promise of well paid work in the US.

Fairly Traded: There isn’t an official Fair Trade certification for clothing yet, though it’s in process. This means that there isn’t a verification system of clothing that’s marketed as fairly traded.

 

Materials

Look for materials that are environmentally friendly and/or recycled to minimize your impact on the earth.

Organic Cotton: While organic cotton still can use synthetic fertizilers and pesticides, it’s significantly less than non-organic cotton. Also, color and dyes tend can be better for the earth when buying organic.

Hemp: Hemp requires little water and grows quickly. It also doesn’t need significant pesticides to thrive. Note: there isn’t an official program to certify organic hemp yet.

Linen: Linen is a natural material made from the flax plant.

Bamboo: Soft material. Grows quickly and breaks down in land fills easily. Note though: the process of transforming the wood into fiber, which often takes place in China, doesn’t have stringent environmental controls. 

Soy: Soy fiber was developed in China by extracting soybean protein from the dregs of tofu production, meaning no additional soy had to be grown and no additional pesticides were used. The proteins are added to other compounds to strengthen the fibers and turn them into yarn.

Recycled: companies can now create polyester from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) water bottles. Those bottles were heading to the landfill, so, this is a big win.

Recycled clothing: Truly recycling existing clothing is probably the best option as it requires no process to break down and rebuild.
