Uses wool as its main fibre

The brand says its knitwear is made with 100% natural wool. It presents wool as a renewable fibre because sheep grow a new fleece each year. It also says wool is biodegradable, meaning it can break down naturally instead of staying in landfill like some synthetic fabrics. This is a material choice, not a full sustainability plan, but it is the main environmental claim the brand makes about its products.

Promotes longer wear and less washing

The brand says wool clothing can be worn often and washed less. It also says wool tends to last a long time and is breathable, which can help people keep garments in use for longer. In simple terms, that can lower the impact of a product over time because fewer washes usually means less water and energy use. This is a use-phase claim rather than proof of a full circular system.

Says wool can support lower impact

On its sustainability pages, the brand says wool may have a lower impact than synthetic fibres because it is not made from fossil fuels and can return nutrients to the soil when it breaks down. It also says the wool industry is researching ways to reduce methane emissions, including changes to pasture species, soil management, and tree planting. These are broad industry claims, not a brand-specific emissions report.

Makes products in Ireland

The brand says its knitwear is made in Ireland. Good On You notes that it manufactures closer to home, which can reduce the climate impact of long-distance shipping. That does not by itself prove low emissions, but it does show the brand is using a shorter production and transport route than many global fashion brands.
