Organic
Using organic fabrics, such as organic cotton, offers many benefits. Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means that the farming practices used to produce organic cotton are better for the environment and the health of farmers and their communities. Organic cotton also uses less water than conventional cotton and supports healthy soil through crop rotation and natural pest management.

In addition to the environmental benefits, organic cotton is also better for the people who wear it. Since it is grown without the use of harmful chemicals, it is less likely to cause skin irritation or allergies. Organic cotton is also often produced under fair labor standards, which means that workers are paid fairly and have safe working conditions.

Choosing organic fabrics like organic cotton is a great way to support sustainable and ethical practices in the fashion industry. By choosing organic cotton, you can help reduce the negative impact of fashion on the environment and the people involved in its production.

Re-Cycled
The Recycled icon means the product has been made with recycled materials. This, in turn, means we're diverting waste from landfills and reducing the need for virgin materials. By using recycled fibers, we're also saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would have been generated in the production of new materials. These materials are just as high quality and and just as durable, so you can feel good about wearing your recycled products for years to come.

Re-Cyclable
Recyclable fabrics are an important part of a sustainable fashion industry. By using materials that can be recycled at the end of their useful life, we can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and conserve natural resources. Recyclable fabrics also help to reduce the carbon footprint of the fashion industry by decreasing the need for virgin materials, which require energy and resources to extract and process.

In addition to their environmental benefits, recyclable fabrics can be just as high quality and durable as traditional materials. Many recyclable fabrics are made from natural fibers, such as cotton or wool, which are biodegradable and can be safely returned to the earth. Other recyclable fabrics are made from synthetic fibers, such as polyester or nylon, which can be recycled into new materials through specialized processes.

Overall, using recyclable fabrics is a smart choice for anyone who wants to minimize their impact on the planet. By choosing materials that can be recycled, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and create a more sustainable fashion industry.

Responsible Wool
At Röyk, we have a profound love for wool, whether it’s Swedish or Norwegian wool, or German or Australian merino wool. The Responsible Wool icon shows that the product is made from RWS-certified wool. RWS stands for Responsible Wool Standard, which is a certification program that ensures wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land, sheep, and wool. Farms certified under RWS must meet strict animal welfare standards and implement best practices in environmental sustainability.

The RWS certification guarantees that the wool comes from sheep that have been treated with care and respect. This means that the animals are not subjected to mulesing, a painful and inhumane procedure that involves cutting away strips of skin from the sheep's hindquarters to prevent flystrike. The RWS also ensures that the sheep are not subjected to unnecessary harm, and that they have access to clean water, food, and shelter. In addition to the animal welfare benefits, RWS wool is also produced in an environmentally responsible way. Farms must implement practices that promote biodiversity, conserve water, and reduce the use of harmful chemicals. This means that RWS wool is a great choice for those who want to minimize their impact on the planet.

Choosing RWS wool means supporting farmers who are committed to responsible and sustainable practices, and ensuring that the wool you purchase is of the highest quality and ethical standards.
