Sustainability
At Flo Activewear we are striving to deliver your favourite activewear styles in the same quality you’ve come to love whilst reducing our impact on the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.
GRS Certified Recycled Fabrication
From Autumn/Winter 2024 we've chosen to use GRS certified recycled polyester fibres across our range. These recycled fibres divert waste from landfill and require less natural resources to produce.
GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard, which is a standard which verifies the presence and amount of recycled material in fabrics and tracks the flow of raw materials from its source to the final product. Under the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), recycled polyester aligns with chemical restrictions and best practices for social and environmental responsibility.
Our GRS certified Recycled polyester is soft, durable and with the same great look and feel you’ve come to love.
Sustainable Packaging
Your orders are delivered in HEROPACK compostable mailers. Unlike traditional shipping mailers, these are NOT made from plastic. HEROPACK mailers are made from mostly plant-based materials such as PLA and a certified compostable material called PBAT (some seriously fancy ways of saying corn starch and bonding agents).
Not only are they compostable but reusable too! When you receive your parcel, cut along the line on the flap and re-use it with the second adhesive (glue) strip. Once composted properly, the HEROPACKs will start to break down and turn into amazing fertiliser for the garden. This takes about 3-4 months.
Carbon Neutral Shipping
We are now offsetting our shipments to help protect forests in the fight against climate change. Using Shopify Planet all our customer shipments are now carbon-neutral and support some of the most promising climate projects on Earth.
We hope to continue dancing into a greener future with our Flo Squad.
