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.

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

Packaging
Our main packaging consists of eco friendly brown paper bags that are 100% recyclable, 100% compostable and 100% reusable.

Repairs
In the clothing industry fast fashion contributes to resource pollution and waste pollution as such products have such a small lifetime before they are thrown out. So here at Planks we endeavour to repair all broken products, so we can make sure that all of our products have the longest possible lifetime.

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.
Our Be More Friendly Partners
We are really proud to be working with some awesome partners and charities. Read more about them below!
