Wearing these SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Plain Cotton Sports Trainer Socks is a great move if you’re actively trying to find fresh, eco-friendly ways to live. With the TORE (TOtally REcycled) range, we’ve created the first 100% recycled sock. TORE socks, such as these men’s trainer socks, are soft, breathable, durable and comfortable. TORE is our answer to the waste produced from the fashion industry, where it’s currently estimated that 10.000 items go to landfill every five minutes. We’re collecting textile waste and recycled PET before it reaches landfill mountains, then organising, reconstituting and spinning it into yarn (dyed using non-harmful dyes) in our certified factories, ready to become brand new TORE socks.

Made in this way, just one triple pack of TORE socks means we’ve been able to save two years worth of drinking water, and diverted the equivalent of 2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts away from becoming just more landfill. It’s not an answer, but it’s a start. Will you join our TORE socks recycling revolution?
