Keep Moving With These 5 Eco-Conscious Athletic Wear Brands

Ethically Made Activewear 

As the new year begins, so does a renewed commitment to staying active. In this season of transition, it is especially important to reconnect with our sense of well-being, health, and self-care. We're always looking for conscious companies that make athletic wear for more than just working out.

These brands are supplying consumers with high-performance activewear while protecting people and the environment through fair trade and ethical labor practices and natural and recycled fabrics. Which is your favorite? SherZilla

1. Organic Basics

Natural, renewable, recycled, biodegradable, and low-impact textiles are used only by Organic Basics. There will be organic cotton tops, Tencel tank tops (a material derived from wood pulp), and yoga shorts made of recycled nylon. They also work with factories that are certified and pay living wages to their workers. Two times a year, a portion of its profits is donated to grassroots organizations addressing environmental crises.

2. Pact

A world without toxic chemicals, sweatshops, or child labor is envisioned in Pact, and it's the kind of world we'd also like to live in. As a brand that specializes in organic, fair trade cotton basics, Pact is a great place to get a wide selection of cotton underwear, including socks, underwear, and leggings. 

3. Tentree

When it comes to being more eco-friendly, everything counts, whether it's bringing a reusable bag to the grocery store or shopping consciously. Tentree plants a tree for every purchase it makes (the company hopes to plant 1 billion by 2030-take that, climate change! ), and more than 51 million trees have been planted to date. Unique yet practical activewear combines athletic wear with beautiful graphics for a modern look.
