Running hurts, but it shouldn't harm the world around us.
As a new brand, we feel a strong responsibility to reduce the impact running has on the environment.
We're admittedly not experts on all things sustainability, but we're determined to learn as we grow, and we're proud of what we've achieved so far.
The lightweight outer shell of our shorts are constructed using recycled polyester, sourced from our world-leading fabric mill.
1yd of fabric can be crafted from up to 15 plastic bottles that otherwise would have gone to landfill. This "rPET" material alo uses less energy, water and resources than virgin poly.
We're committed to offering a luxury alternative to the harsh, shiny, and pungent t-shirts that dominate the running scene.
Which is why we've integrated the superior texture and natural performance attributes that finest cotton provides.
Our t-shirts are rich in lightweight cotton (58%), sourced from farms using climate-positive agricultural and land management practices, that restore the soil instead of disturbing it.
All of our products are shipped in recycled mailers, and instead of using unsustainable swing labels, we attach seed paper that can be planted at home to grow wildflowers.
It's been inspiring to read your messages of support for these measures, and if you have any suggestions for how we can further improve, please email us directly at team@acid-running.com.
We'd be delighted to hear from you.
