What current company practices make Welles a sustainable company?

By changing how performance wear is made, we are doing our part to help solve the planet’s plastic problem, thus leaving less of a footprint. We're continuously working on improving our product range, not just in regard to functionality and quality, but also in terms of sustainability. From material to packaging choices, from suppliers we partner with to office supplies, we make every decision with an Earth-first approach. Our community is dedicated to improving the lives of others — and we believe in taking steps towards the improved quality of our planet as going hand in hand with this mission.

We use higher quality fibers across all of our core lines. We optimize garment quality and construction in order to minimize our fallout. We donate all of our imperfect garments to charity in order to minimize waste. We believe that we are creating high quality garments that are made to last a lifetime.

When it comes to our supplier base, we have a Supplier Code of Conduct in place that is aligned with ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work as well as the Ethical Trading initiative. For more information on our Code of Conduct.

We have short term goals and long term goals we are working towards, such as a totally circular closed product loop.

Welles is also a member of 1% for the Planet, which means we're committed to donating at least 1% of annual revenue toward a healthier planet for all.

Does Welles use eco-friendly packaging materials?

Absolutely! Our reusable packaging is made from a 100% bio-based plastic alternative derived from corn-starch that will fully compost within 24 weeks. Once it has served its purpose, please dispose of it responsibly in an industrial composting facility. While this is the best solution right now, we are working on creating something even better!

Does Welles donate to any sustainability initiatives?

Yes! Welles is a member of “1% for the Planet”, an international organization whose members contribute at least one percent of their annual revenue to vetted causes that protect the environment. This donation is credibly third party certified. To date 1% members have donated over $350 million dollars to vetted environmental protection causes tackling six core issue areas: climate, food, pollution, water and wildlife.

What is Welles’ commitment to sustainability?

On a product level as well as an operational level, we live by the Maya Angelou philosophy “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."

What is the fabric breakdown for the scrubs?

Our proprietary fabric, Terral-X, is made from ocean-bound plastic that is recycled and infused with a breakthrough biomimetic technology called CiCLO™ to form a new performance fiber that will biodegrade at the end of its life-cycle.

CiCLO™ is a safe and effective, nature-based solution to mitigate synthetic microfiber pollution. When added, fibers remain ultra durable and high performance, yet in STARK contrast to the the main negative quality of standard polyester, won't remain in our environment forever through inevitable washing processes and at the ultimate end of its life-cycle.

We combine this with supremely soft and breathable viscose (a renewable cellulose) and super stretchy spandex (you still need to move!), to make a fabric unlike any other.

Fabric content is: 73% CiCLO™ Recycled Polyester // 23% Ecovero(TM) Viscose // 4% Spandex Elastane

Is the fabric used in the scrubs breathable/sweat wicking?

Our state-of-the-art fabric is engineered to enhance performance much like athleisure. The natural fibers in our fabric allow it to feel supremely soft and breathable, while the durable eco-polyester wicks moisture away from the body keeping you cool and dry. Terral-X is finished with a Bluesign certified antimicrobial finish that ensures our scrubs are odor resistant.

Is the fabric used in the scrubs stain resistant?

No, to make a fabric stain resistant or water repellent, it must have a special finish that uses toxic “forever” chemicals called PFAS. Linked to numerous health concerns including cancer, liver and heart disease, these harmful chemicals run off from our laundry cycles and enter our water systems, forever persisting in our environment. Welles is committed to creating responsible, high performing products that don’t jeopardize the health of our community or environment, for that reason, we do not use any materials containing PFAS in our products.

Where do you make your clothing?

We are proud to partner with factories in the USA, Asia and Central America, each of whom agrees to our code of conduct, audit and certification requirements. Our factories were carefully selected and vetted based on their fair labor standards and commitment to the highest standards for their workers with benefits such as on-site after-school childcare, transport and career advancement classes.
