Ethical kit for you to work out in

HOWEVER you like to work up a sweat, these brands and stockists could help ensure your fitness kit supports your performance and comfort needs – and ticks those ever-important ethical boxes

FOR SWIMMERS

AQUA Sphere now has a great range of swim gear made from Repreve, a fabric created with recycled plastic bottles (there are actually six repurposed bottles a single swimsuit – how cool is that?!). Since Repreve launched, they’ve recycled more than 10 billion bottles that might otherwise have ended up in landfill or in our oceans.

We love: The Aqua Sphere Women’s Nastia Swimsuit (from £34.19, Amazon). Made with Repreve, it’s also super chlorineresistant and durable, and provides UV50 sun protection. There’s an inner double layer for extra bust support, adjustable skinny straps, and it’s available in a wide range of sizes (30-44).

FOR DEDICATED ATHLETES

SUNDRIED has partnered with The Low Carbon Innovation Fund and operates on strict policies to minimise the carbon footprint throughout the whole life cycle of their products. They’ve also partnered with the charity Water for Kids and work with Surfers Against Sewage, and launched a new range made from 100% recycled materials.

We love: Olperer Men’s T-Shirt (£40, sundried.com) is a great pick for summer. The T-shirt is a classic staple and made with 100% recycled materials and still manages to be sweat-wicking.

FOR YOGA BUNNIES

YOGACLICKS is built around a mission to create a ‘meaningful community united by ethical values’.

It’s essentially an online one-stop-shop for yoga fans.

We love: These Urban Goddess Satya – Minty Monkey Yoga Pants (£74.95, YogaClicks. store). Made from a mix of 100% biodegradable bamboo and organic cotton, these would all make a planetconscious – and bright and gorgeous – addition to your summer kit.
