At Etalon, we believe that caring for the planet is another way of caring for the people who live here. That’s why our fabric is created from rPET (recycled post consumer plastic bottles) with a modified structure that makes it biodegradable. We also make every effort to operate our business sustainably.

What we choose:

ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING

We use recycled and recyclable paper when possible, and we choose biodegradable packaging options.

MINIMAL WASTE

We employ pre-ordering to avoid over-production, and our designs ensure minimum fabric waste during production.

E-BRANDING & PAPERLESS OFFICE

Technology helps us be mindful about consumption. We use digital document processing and environmentally friendly office materials.

SUSTAINABLE MANUFACTURING

We collaborate with sustainable vendors and manufacturers who implement systems to minimize environmental impact and waste.

FAIR PRODUCTION & TRANSPARENCY

Our bras are manufactured by people we personally know in our native San Francisco, CA.

SUSTAINABILITY & EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMS

We commit to sustainable choices and give 1% of our profits to mental health programs.

THE MATERIALS MATTER

Sustainable Product

Each of our bras is made from the equivalent of 10 plastic bottles. The fabric is 79% recycled polyester (rPET) and 21% spandex. The chemical composition has been modified so it is biodegradable. It's OEKO-TEX® certified which means it's free from harmful substances. Our straps are also recycled, OEKO-TEX® certified, and though they are not biodegradable yet, we’re working on it!

Sustainable Packaging

Our boxes and stickers are made from 100% recycled material. They can be recycled together or you can reuse them, too. Our tissue is made from 100% recycled content, and it can be recycled or composted along with the sticker, or given a second life for future gift wrapping.
