MATE the Label Sustainability Actions

Offset 2021 carbon emissions

We are able to call ourselves Certified Climate Neutral because we offset our yearly carbon emissions by funding carbon offset projects, and we make yearly objectives to reduce our impact. These are the carbon offsets we purchased to balance out our 2021 emissions: Capricorn Ridge Wind Project, Texas, USA; and Doo Doo Does More, Maharashtra, India.

Recycled cotton cut scraps

We were able to collect and recycle all of our cotton cutting table scraps. These scraps were sent to a mechanical recycler in Guatemala that is creating a recycled fabric we will use in 2022.

Managed carbon intensity

We were able to set and abide by restrictions on the carbon intensity of our business, helping to decouple company growth and carbon impact.

Offered recycling option

We made a lot of progress on this initiative in 2021 but just missed the end of year deadline. We will be going live with this option in early 2022!

Used lower impact materials

At MATE, we make it a priority to source lower impact materials and minimize our emissions as much as possible. Natural, organic, plastic-free—we only choose materials that come from the soil and can return to the soil. That means Organic Cotton, TENCEL™ Lyocell, and flax Linen.
