The fashion industry has a problem with excess textile wastage and water consumption. With our groundbreaking TORE (TOtally REcycled) range, were trying to change that, a sock at a time! These three pairs of SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Plain Cotton Sports Trainer Socks look and feel like everyday low ankle socks, but theres a very important difference - these are the first socks of their kind, with every fibre, every thread and strand used is made out of recycled materials, Even the dye we colour the yarn with is non-harmful. And yes, the cardboard packaging the set comes with is recycled too!Its been a marathon challenge for us, finding and figuring out how to get recycled materials to have the same quality and features as normally-produced socks, but weve done it. Theyre as soft and breathable as youd hope, but the very important difference is that every triple pack of these sporty TORE women'strainer socks you buy means that 2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts has been reused
