Climate goals-Our Materials

Our product line accounts for more than 90 percent of our total carbon emissions. While Patagonia has long used materials with lower environmental impacts, we haven’t been able to stop using fossil fuels altogether. By 2025 we will only use preferred materials—organic and Regenerative Organic cotton, recycled polyester and recycled nylon, among others. We’re already at 87 percent of our line and counting. This effort will reduce our emissions by 15 percent. (We, too, wish this number were larger, but every percent counts!) Through our growing Worn Wear program, Patagonia will continue to offer customers clothes with 60 percent lower emissions than new.
