The world produces 381 million tonnes in plastic waste per year – this is set to double by 2034. 50% of this is single-use plastic & only 9% has ever been recycled.

The problem isn't exclusive to plastic either. It’s estimated that over 600,000 tonnes of fishing equipment is dumped into the sea every year, with nylon fishing nets comprising a large part of this total. By using recycled materials, we help clean our oceans, recycle that waste, and cut out the need for raw materials like crude oil, which are traditionally used in the production of nylon.

If we can use this waste, instead of virgin materials, to create products that we are already using, then why don't we? Well we do, but finding them is a pain. Squareco stock innovative products, from leading and independent brands, so you can have confidence in the sportswear you own.

All of the items we stock are made from at least 50% recycled materials. These materials vary brand by brand, but our main goal is to stock items which have been made using materials which would have otherwise been sent to landfill, or our oceans. To get a full breakdown of the materials used, simply go to a product you like here and see the item description.

Our mailing bags and labels are fully compostable and ideal for disposal in your kitchen or garden waste, and will be used to enrich plant growth in just 12 weeks. You can also dispose of our packaging in your own compost heap, should you have one.

Did you know almost all synthetic activewear is made from plastic? Our brands make with materials that would otherwise clog landfills and pollute the earth. It all starts with 100% post-consumer water bottles that have their labels removed, are crushed into billions of minuscule chips, and then washed until they’re sparkling clean.

After a bunch of science stuff with names like “polymerization,” you get a soft, recycled yarn that eliminates the need for petroleum and diverts water bottles from landfills at the same time.
