When designing our packaging range we were conscious to did so with the full packaging lifecycle in mind. Our mailing bags include >30% recycled polythene and our brand team created the design using just 15% ink coverage. This not only looks great but helps when it comes recycling the bag too. Our mailing bags are also made just 46 miles away in Manchester. Any polythene packaging waste that is returned is recycled just 88 miles away in a recycling facility that specialises in recycling post-consumer polythene waste and recycles it back into pellet form to be used again in the same proves to make new packaging products. The ACAI team are all on board with closing the loop on polythene waste so we have also installed polythene collection points and they are all trained up on closed loop recycling. This means our staff can re-use waste packaging instead of new for any returns or resales and any waste remaining will be recycled here in the UK.

Our ACAI base layers are made using NILIT Heat, which is a unique yarn created with recycled coffee charcoal. This exceptional fibre offers superior thermo insulation, bacteriostatic properties, a powerful deodorising effect, and a sweat-free sensation for maximum comfort and all day performance.

An environmentally friendly yarn, NILIT Heat makes smart use of a natural surplus by integrating coffee charcoal from coffee bean shells into the nylon fibre.

Where possible we are committed to using recycled fabric and have most recently launched our Wild Print Collection, which incorporates 76% recycled nylon. Our Aventurite Stretch Skinny Outdoor Trousers also use recycled nylon.
