West End Knitwear Ltd. recognises the need to protect the natural environment. Keeping our environment clean and unpolluted is beneficial to all. We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful countries in the world and it is our responsibility to keep it that way.
Materials
All our garments are made from 100% wool, a natural resource and considered an environmentally friendly fibre with many benefits:
100% natural fibre
Renewable
Sustainable
Recyclable
Biodegradable
Breathable
Durable
We are dedicated to using only ethically sourced yarn.
Manufacturing
Our garments are machine knit in sections with little waste. Each garment is individual hand finished to our very high standard.
Reduce Waste
Any knitted panels that have errors, such as dropped stitches, have the yarn rewound and recovered by our knitters to reduce waste.
Naturally Sustainable
Woollen garments need minimal washing due to the natural properties of wool. To keep the garment looking its best, the golden rule is washing the garment as seldom as possible. We recommend what we call “wind-washing”, hanging the garment outside in the air restores freshness.
Continuing our commitment
We are committed to continually improving our environmental practices and reducing our environmental impact wherever possible.
We have upgraded all lighting throughout our facilities to energy-efficient LED lighting.
All cardboard packaging is reused as much as possible before being recycled at end of life.
Cardboard waste is compacted and sent for recycling.
We continue to explore more environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we remain committed to making positive changes for the future.
