Allied signs first brand to circular down programme
15/02/2024
Sleeping bag brand Nemo will donate old bags to Allied, which will recycle them and add the down to Renu:Trace.
Daniel Uretsky, president at AF+D, said: “Recyclable and naturally biodegradable, down is one of the most sustainable insulations on the planet and plays an important role in a circular economy.
“We launched our Renu:Trace programme in November 2022, understanding the importance of ensuring animal welfare through traceable recycled down.”
For spring 2024, Nemo’s top-selling down sleeping bags will be part of the fully recyclable Endless Promise Collection. The Disco and Riff Spoon shape sleeping bags, and the new mummy-style Coda all incorporate technical features like Thermo Gill vents for temperature control; waterproof hood and footbox fabrics; and Allied down fill.
