By definition, an eco-friendly product is a product that generates the minimum impact on the environment throughout its life cycle. To go further in a responsible approach, you can consult our selection of sustainable outdoor gear suitable for all needs.
No standard or real definition allows us to determine whether a product is truly ecological or not. However, it is possible to demonstrate by various means that the product has a lesser impact on the environment and people, and this throughout its life cycle. The life cycle of a product includes: the extraction of raw materials as well as recyclable materials, its manufacturing, its transport, its use, and its end of life.
Ideally, a truly eco-friendly and environmentally friendly product should be made from renewable resources or eco-responsible natural materials, locally, without grey energy, without air, water, or soil pollution, its daily use does not harm the environment, and its end of life also respects the environment. However, this product does not exist.
But with the evolution of mindsets and the ecological awareness, we have seen in recent years a strong evolution of our partner brands in this area. These brands are multiplying their efforts to offer you products that are increasingly respectful of the environment and our nature, relying in particular on an eco-responsible selection of manufacturing processes. It seems obvious that it is by advancing our way of consuming that we best fulfill our obligations to future generations.

Let’s take the example of some initiatives from the brands we have decided to work with:

Vaude : Always less, always more for the environment

Ortovox : Transparency on the origin of raw materials

The brand works with farms that meet the requirements of the OWP standard and meet its quality expectations.
Since 2011, it has been using Swiss wool as a raw material for the filling of its products. In a commitment to respect the environment, Ortovox decided to create Swisswool products. These products stand out from others due to their regional origin, short transport routes, and always 100% European production. All these actions help to reduce its environmental impact.

La Sportiva : Preservation of the beauty of nature

The brand has been committed since its creation to respecting nature so that outdoor sports enthusiasts can enjoy it infinitely.



Prana : Respect rhymes with responsibility

For Prana, no compromise should be made when it comes to the environment or the people living on this planet. No matter how long it takes to achieve perfection, the important thing is to try rather than not at all. It is in this spirit that the brand values, for example, a fair trade selection to ensure equity and respect for human rights.
It is also important to respect the people who make the clothing. These human beings must be supported and fairly compensated for their skills. The brand states it well: "sustainability and style can and must live together".

Salewa : Nature protection through innovation

Aware of your love for nature, the brand has worked on a new technology: Alpine Hemp.
This fabric made from hemp combined with other fibers including recycled polyester and organic cotton. Hemp is a plant with interesting characteristics as it grows quickly, making this material more sustainable.
With this new technology, the brand shows that it is possible to use sustainable means to manufacture comfortable products made in an environmentally friendly way.
Ultimately, if we had to describe our ideal vision of an eco-friendly approach, it would encompass all the elements highlighted by the aforementioned partner brands. Of course, not all criteria have been taken into account by these brands, but the essential thing is that they have all at least tried to do something for the environment and future generations.
