Our Impact
The fashion industry has a deeply negative impact on our planet and the environment.
And we’re committed to make small changes to create a better world.
Reduce water consumption
Our yarn is made from 100% recycled materials, saving on average 1,050 litres of water per 3 pair pack of socks (in comparison to traditional cotton socks). That is the equivalent of one person drinking 1.5 litres of water per day for almost 2 years!
Reduced waste accumulation
A typical 3 pair pack of TORE socks is made using on average 2.4 plastic bottles and also industrial textile waste. If not properly disposed of, these would have ended up as landfill or in our oceans, leading to increased CO2 emissions and pollution.
One pack of Tore socks saves:

(i) 2 years of fresh drinking water → An average person drinks approximately 1.5l of water/day.
Calculation 1050/1.5 = 700 days ≈ 2 years
(ii) 0.6t shirts diverted from landfills’ → An average t shirts weights approximately 150g
Calculation 90/150 = 0.6 t shirts
(iii) 2.4 plastic water bottles diverted from landfills → One 500 ml plastic bottle is approximately 9.875g of plastic.
Calculation 23.7/9.875 = 2.4 bottles
