Regatta Honestly Made – Clothing a sustainable future

You recognise the outdoor clothing brand Regatta, but did you know they do a range of workwear too? All items can be branded with your company logo, within a huge range of jackets, fleeces, polo shirts and more! They also do high visibility clothing, footwear and accessories. But what we’re really excited about is their ‘Honestly Made‘ range. This new collection puts sustainability first, encouraging everyone to swap their uniforms for better earth-friendly alternatives.

Choosing sustainable style

Sustainability is a huge topic right now, and something every individual and business should be thinking about. Changing our habits and altering our purchasing decisions to be kinder to the planet is important. Clothing and fashion have a strong part to play in this, as it has a massive environmental impact. Not only with textile waste, but during the production process too. Reducing this waste is key, and finding ways to reuse existing materials is an important element. Choose sustainable style for your next wardrobe refresh!

The Honestly Made collection

Honestly Made by Regatta was launched in 2019 and features a range of different products in a variety of colours and sizes. Perfect for updating your workwear wardrobe while making a sustainable choice for a better world. To make these garments, plastic bottles are collected from recycling centres, then processed and spun into 100% GRS certified recycled thread. The finished recycled garments are hard-wearing and reliable, keeping your workforce looking stylish and professional. To date, the Honestly Made collection has saved over 7 million bottles from landfill!

The Honestly Made range is making headway to create a sustainable future for workwear clothing. The collection was primarily designed taking into consideration the environment, and focused on key workwear styles. Manufactured with 100% recycled polyester fabric, Regatta were the first company in the industry to offer this on both fabrics and insulation. This makes the range industry-leading and truly sustainable.

Being an ethical business

Regatta’s brand values when it comes to the Honestly Made collection says everything you need to know about the products and the range as a whole. With a focus on conscientious and ethical buying, and efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, they are well on their way to being a more sustainable brand.

  • They want to look after the earth in many ways including sourcing sustainable fabrics that use less water and energy, and cause less pollution.
  • In terms of logistics, Regatta aims to reduce their air and road miles; instead focusing on clever consolidation for shipping by sea and investing in electric fleet cars.
  • We’ve already shown how their Honestly Made products are more sustainable, but did you know Regatta also uses recycled packaging?
  • In their offices they are printing less, but when they do it’s on recycled paper. They aim to use digital communication more to avoid unnecessary paper usage, and encourage everyone to switch off computers and lights when not in use to conserve energy. They are also planning to recycle more, both in offices and in-store – we’re hoping this will include a textile recycling programme.
