What do you get with this three-pair pack of SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Dots Cotton Socks? Well, you get two different spotted patterns and a pair of plain contrasting men's cotton blend socks, all good-looking and in a fine gauge knit that is soft and breathable, ideal for everyday wear, but you also get the satisfaction of knowing that you're helping to change things a little. TORE stands for TOtally REcycled and it's our attempt to shake things up in fashion. We've made the first 100% recycled socks, but we're hoping we won't be the last. Too much first use' clothing ends up in landfill - 10,000 items every five minutes in fact - and demand for fashion means the industry is the third biggest consumer of water and produces 25% of all waste water. But, by making TORE socks, we're managing to make a small difference with every triple pack. Two years' worth of drinking water is actually saved, and we are able to divert the equivalent of 2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts away from landfill. With every pack, that grows a little more and we help reduce the world's waste. And when you've finished with these socks, (and any you have) why not consider how you can recycle or reuse them again?
