Be More Friendly

Planks is committed to being more friendly to the people and planet we love.

#BeMoreFriendly

We are constantly evolving our products and processes to lessen our environmental impact, whilst continuing to support and give back to the skiing community.

REPREVE

We are extremely proud to be working with REPREVE® who are the world’s leading recycled yarn manufacturer. With their help, we have now incorporated recycled content into over half of our styles.

Repreve is a registered trademark of Unifi, Inc. in the US and other regions.

This recycled material includes plastic bottles that would otherwise end up in landfill and the ocean. The entire Repreve recycling and repurposing process is monitored and certified throughout in order to accurately trace the amounts of recycled content within the original garment.

How are the recycled bottles turned into recycled fibre?

Step 1: Used plastic bottles are collected and sorted.

Step 2: Bottles are washed and chopped into flakes.

Step 3: Bottle flakes are melted and formed into chips.

Step 4: Chips are melted and extruded into recycled fibre.

Step 5: Fibre is made into fabric for your planet friendly gear.

Bluesign

We are now also incorporating Bluesign® approved fabrics in our outerwear, helping to set the standard for environmentally friendly and safe production.
