Wool

Recycled wool is considered a sustainable form of wool because it’s made from existing woolen garments and fiber waste. Recycled wool can be made from pre- and post-consumer wool garments and production scraps, which are sorted, cleaned, shredded, and blended to create recycled wool fibers that are then spun into yarn.

• Pre-Consumer Recycled Materials – These are materials diverted from waste streams during the manufacturing process. For example, using leftover cutting scraps from manufacturing facilities when making a garment.
• Post-Consumer Recycled Materials – These are materials generated by households or commercial and industrial facilities. When these products can no longer be used for their intended purpose and are recycled, they are then determined to be post-consumer.

Tommy Hilfiger requires recycled materials to have Global Recycled Standard (GRS) or Recycled Content Standard (RCS) certification. 

Recycled cashmere wool is considered a sustainable form of wool because it’s made from existing cashmere garments and fiber waste. To create recycled cashmere, garments and production scraps are sorted, cleaned, shredded, and blended to create “new” recycled cashmere fibers that are spun into yarn. Using recycled fibers reduces the depletion of natural resources and textile waste and reduces the production of conventional cashmere.

• Pre-Consumer Recycled Materials – These are materials diverted from waste streams during the manufacturing process. For example, using leftover cutting scraps from manufacturing facilities when making a garment.
• Post-Consumer Recycled Materials – These are materials generated by households or commercial and industrial facilities. When these products can no longer be used for their intended purpose and are recycled, they are then determined to be post-consumer.

Tommy Hilfiger requires recycled materials to have Global Recycled Standard (GRS) or Recycled Content Standard (RCS) certification. 

Responsibly sourced wool uses wool sourced from sheep farms certified for responsible animal and land management practices.

Responsibly sourced wool has been verified at all stages of wool production starting from the farmers. The wool comes from sheep that have been treated responsibly, protecting the five freedoms of animal welfare, including the mental and physical well-being of the animals. Responsibly sourced wool is sourced from farms with proper land management practices in place such as protecting soil health, biodiversity, and native species.

Tommy Hilfiger requires the responsible wool content to be certified by Responsible Wool Standard (RWS).

Responsibly sourced alpaca wool has been verified at all stages of wool production starting from the farmers. The wool comes from alpacas that have been treated responsibly, protecting the five freedoms of animal welfare, including the mental and physical well-being of the animals. Responsibly sourced alpaca wool is sourced from farms with proper land management practices in place such as protecting soil health, biodiversity, and native species.

Tommy Hilfiger requires responsible alpaca wool content to be certified by Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS).
