A work in progress, L1 set a goal to work towards having a line completely made of only fully recycled fabrics in the near future. As L1 starts this journey, the main goal is to do their part in reducing the industry’s greater impact one step at a time.

The first step being the addition of (GRS) certified 100% recycled polyester found in L1's linings as well as their new high pile fleece, manufactured from used PET bottles. Using environmentally-friendly recycling processes, it does not require petrochemical raw materials and saves natural resources reducing the burden on the environment. They have also switched the nylon lining in 45 of their 48 styles to Ecoya® — a type of solution dyed yarn. Statistics show when generic textiles are replaced with Ecoya®, the release of CO2 and COD is greatly reduced while water and chemicals are also conserved. Such as water savings of 46%, COD savings of 67%, Coal savings of 64%, Chemical savings of 92%, CO2 savings of 63%, Electricity savings of 59%.

As part of L1's commitment to improving their environmental footprint they have entirely switched from C6 DWR containing hazardous PFC’s (per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals) to PFC-free DWR on all their fabrics and styles that require a DWR coating. The importance of a cleaner textile process is fundamental in L1's journey to reducing our environmental footprint.
