Product Sustainability

Innovation in product design not only ensures high function in our gear but success in our journey towards environmental sustainability. By choosing lower impact materials and production techniques, we are working to reduce our ecological footprint on the planet.

We've established a set of guidelines to distinguish products that use a significant sustainable initiative. We originally identified MEC-brand gear that fits these criteria. Now we've expanded it to include other brand partners who have proven that they follow the same guidelines.

Product Sustainability This symbol indicates products that contain at least 50% organically grown cotton or recycled polyester, or are completely PVC-free .

Textile Standards We've chosen bluesign technologies to help us monitor environmental hazards and risks to health and safety in mills that make our fabrics.

Garment Recycling Wondering where our Garment Recycling Bins went? MEC will no longer collect your worn out polyester garments for recycling. Yes, we're disappointed too.
