SUSTAINABILITY

​
-
recycled yarns are sourced from trusted global partners: REPREVE®, Polartec®, and Coolcore®
-
Bluesign® certifies that the materials are produced only using safe and sustainable processes – air and water emissions from the manufacturing processes are entirely clean.
-
FRACEL is partnered with 1% For The Planet and gives 1% of ALL sales back to organisations that protect the environment. This has resulted in over $50,000 donated to partners like For Wild Places, Runners For Public Lands, Thread Together, and more.

Points of Improvement
-
It would be ideal to have the hats made here in Canada to minimize the pollutants caused from shipping, and to support our more local economy (FRACTEL is based in Australia – ♡ to you Aussies). However, there were no Canadian equivalents to FRACTEL that I could find - a company making high-quality endurance caps with sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. Ultimately, FRACTEL was great to deal with and held true to their promise of light, breathable, and quality hats!
