What is Project One?
Seven Years ago Follow began our Sustainable Performance Range (S.P.R) - born from a realisation that our biggest impact on the environment comes from the materials in our product. So we made a promise to become more sustainable. Today we renew this promise is the form of Project One — An undertaking by us to make decisions in our design and construction process, that attempts to balance ourselves with the surroundings we utilise. Based not solely on profit but on a duty.
IT IS A PROMISE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH HARMONY
Working only with socially compliant factories and manufacturers of textiles, we are designing and producing a recyclable neoprene made for the very purpose to reduce the waist that we, as a company, help produce. We understand that we are our product. So we must source low-impact textiles, recycled neoprene, sustainable finishes & adhesives, and whenever possible implement them within our construction to limit our environmental impact. We look for durable, recyclable, and biodegradable element at every step. And construct with a policy that we ‘must’ build our product to last.
MOVE FORWARD
WITH HARMONY
Whenever you see the Project One logo on a product it means we have source a material, adhesive, finish or construction that in someway is a more sustainable version of the materials we could have used.
THROUGH OUR S.P.R INITIATIVES
Sustainable
Our goal at Follow is to make a sustainable product range that maintains our guidelines of product performance.
Recycled Polyester Jersey
Made from recycled plastic bottles. Approximately 15 plastic bottles are recycled in the creation of each vest.
Biodegradable Shipping Bags
Every vest in the Follow range comes in a biodegradable shipping bag. This decision is a simple one for most, yet we feel we are unique in our market for making this choice.
WE DO THIS THROUGH OUR MATERIALS
Yulex Natural Rubber
We are using Yulex Natural Rubber. The Yulex emulsion removes over 99% of impurities and delivers a stronger, non-sensitizing natural material.
PVC Free Bouyancy Foam
In a nutshell, PVC plastic is uniquely toxic among plastics because of its ingredients which readily migrate into the environment during its production, use and disposal. So no PVC = Happy Earth.
Solvent Free
Solvent-free, aqua-based lamination glue. Laminated with Aqua-X solvent-free glue. No more harmful solvent chemicals in your Neoprene products.
FOR WE ARE ONE
We are one planet.
We are one environment.
We are one sport.
This is not a luxury. This is not a gimmick. Day by day, week by week, year by year.We must strive to be better version of ourselves.
MOVE FORWARD
