Commonry Sustainability Actions

Uses traceable cotton

Commonry says some of its products use Good Earth Cotton®, a cotton program that aims to lower farming impacts. The brand says this cotton is traceable through FibreTrace®, a system that tracks and checks the fibre at each step of the textile supply chain. In plain terms, that means the cotton can be followed from farm to finished item. Commonry also says the farming method is designed to improve soil health, biodiversity, and water use, while cutting emissions through regenerative farming practices.

Uses organic cotton

Commonry says a selected range of its tees are made with organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without pesticides, toxic dyes, or harsh finishes, and it is usually linked to lower pressure on soil and water than conventional cotton. The brand does not give a full breakdown of how much of its range uses this material, but it does show that some products are made with a lower-impact fibre choice.

Uses lower-impact fibres

Commonry says it uses LENZING™ ECOVERO™ and TENCEL™ Lyocell in some products. These are branded fibres made from wood pulp, and the company says the wood comes from certified or controlled sources such as FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council, a system for responsible forest management) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, another forest certification system). The brand also points to Lenzing’s place in Canopy’s Hot Button Report, which looks at how fibre makers protect forests.

Member of Leather Working Group

Commonry says it is a member of the Leather Working Group, a not-for-profit group that sets environmental standards for leather makers and checks them through independent audits. Membership suggests the brand is trying to support better leather production and more transparency in the leather supply chain. The material does not show a specific leather factory score for Commonry, only that it supports the group’s approach.

Uses recyclable packaging

Commonry says its shopping bags and packaging contain 40% post-consumer content, which means material that has already been used by consumers and then recycled into new items. It also says the packaging is fully recyclable, including labels and swing tags. The brand adds that it is phasing out single-use plastic in its business and using recycled paper and more sustainably sourced supplies in its offices.
