Why we use European fabrics

At WECY, we prioritize European production to support our commitment to quality, sustainability, and ethical practices. By working with European partners, we build strong, collaborative relationships that ensure transparency and trust throughout the production process. This close cooperation helps us maintain high standards and create durable products that align with our values.

Choosing European production also allows for shorter transportation routes, which reduces carbon emissions and supports our goal of minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, strict European regulations mean that fewer harmful chemicals are used during manufacturing, ensuring safer practices for both the environment and the people involved.

By keeping production local, we not only promote sustainable practices but also contribute to a more responsible and connected fashion industry

Why we use recycled fabrics

By using recycled fabrics significantly reduces the environmental impact of creating new materials. For example, producing recycled plastic for activewear requires up to 75% less energy than using virgin materials, which conserves natural resources and reduces the demand for fossil fuels.

With WECY, you’re wearing more than just activewear; you’re making a statement that respects the planet’s resources. Together, let’s embrace the beauty of circularity and choose a future where fashion and sustainability walk hand in hand.

ECONYL® – closing the loop with endless possibilities

  • Nylon is a technical material, meaning it is a synthetic material that should be perpetually recycled at the end of use. 
  • ECONYL® use an innovative technology to turn nylon waste into first-grade nylon yarn, that offers the same quality as virgin nylon. It can then be recycled infinitely, making it a truly circular material. Our collection of RE-LOVE STORY are created with ECONYL® yarn.
