NO water, NO dyes. Water is a scarce resource that it is over used and contaminated in the apparel industry. Over 40 trillion gallons of water are used yearly in the world just for cotton production. In the treatment phase of textiles over 228 billion gallons of wastewater is produced and dumped into local rivers.
Extraordinary comfort for hiking, skiing, outdoor sport, running, walking, cycling & daily use. Also great at home!
Pick from 3 outdoor designs:
NO water, No dyes. Because we do not treat our recycled fabrics with dyes or other toxic treating materials like Formaldehyde,heavy metals and salts, we are helping to keep rivers and oceans clean. Every year 57 billion pounds of toxic waste are dumped into local rivers endangering entire communities, our oceans and wildlife.
We created Osom Brand with the principle of manufacturing clothing in a completely sustainable way without compromising quality and style.
The beauty of making new yarns with recycled textiles, relies not only in the fact that we are helping reduce textile waste but we can skip cotton farming, save water and reduce the use of pesticides that damages the environment and farmers alike.
12.8 billion pounds of pesticides are used yearly in the U.S. contaminating grounds, water, rivers, oceans and it is devastating our wildlife too.
A successful mission relies on the people we work with.
We have teamed up with Guatemalan premium textile company that complies with our high standards of both social and environmental ethical manufacturing in every single stage of the process.
It is of great satisfaction that we have chosen a team in which our ethical guidelines are respected, met and often exceeded.
