Either we can build products made to be thrown away, or we can create for longevity. We reduce environmental impact by constantly improving what we build and how we operate.

REDUCES ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Our products that reduce the need for replacement, cutting raw material use, manufacturing emissions, and landfill waste. Fast fashion and disposable products contribute to 92 million tons of textile waste annually.
SUPPORTS A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Durable products allow for resale, recycling, and repair, ultimately reducing waste. Our MAP Guarantee™ encourages sustainability while keeping customers engaged.
LOWER OVERALL CARBON FOOTPRINT
Producing new products consumes energy, water, and materials. By extending product lifespan, we reduce resource consumption and emissions associated with frequent replacements.
SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENT
A focus on recycled, Bluesign®-approved, and organic materials, plus repairable designs, supports a longer product life cycle ensuring use, re-use, and passing it on to others.
BUILDING BRAND LOYALTY
Made to last is in our DNA. 67% of consumers consider durability when making purchases, and many are willing to pay more for gear that's going to stick around.
MADE FOR EVERYDAY EXPLORATION
Whether commuting, hiking, or traveling, our products adapt to different environments, eliminating the need for separate gear. Versatility is the core of why we make what we make.
Sustainability & Manufacturing Responsibility
FAIR TRADE FACTORY
Fair Trade certification ensures ethical, transparent, and sustainable production practices that benefit both workers and the environment. As of 2025, 80% of Topo Designs’ assortment is produced in a Fair Trade Certified Factory.
WRAP CERTIFIED
Producing new materials (like virgin polyester or nylon) requires significant energy, water, and fossil fuels. Recycled materials consume fewer resources and generate less CO₂, helping to combat climate change.
PFAS-FREE PRODUCTION
Recycling reduces the need for extracting new raw materials (like petroleum for synthetic fabrics or cotton farming), helping preserve ecosystems, water, and biodiversity.
Our Materials
REDUCE WASTE & AVOID LANDFILLS
Recycling diverts plastic bottles, old textiles, and industrial scraps from landfills and oceans, giving them a second life in durable gear and apparel. This minimizes pollution and contributes to a more circular economy.
WHY RECYCLED MATERIALS?
Producing new materials (like virgin polyester or nylon) requires significant energy, water, and fossil fuels. Recycled materials consume fewer resources and generate less CO₂, helping to combat climate change.
CONSERVE NATURAL RESOURCES
Recycling reduces the need for extracting new raw materials (like petroleum for synthetic fabrics or cotton farming), helping preserve ecosystems, water, and biodiversity.
WATER CONSERVATION
Organic cotton uses 91% less water than conventional cotton. Producing one t-shirt with organic cotton saves about 1,982 gallons of water compared to conventional cotton.
CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION
Organic cotton has a 46% lower CO₂ footprint than conventional cotton due to the absence of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
ELIMINATION OF TOXIC CHEMICALS
Conventional cotton uses 16% of global insecticides and 6% of pesticides. Organic cotton eliminates these chemicals, protecting farmers, communities, and the environment.
