These sports socks have already been around the block... but not in the way you think! Fully cushioned in the feet for protection and comfort, whether you're going green and jogging to work or just wearing for leisure and pleasure, our SOCKSHOP TORE 100% Recycled Plain Cotton Sports Socks are soft and comfortable.. and completely eco-friendly. We've proudly created the world's first 100% recycled socks. That's what TORE means TOtally REcycled! We know that the fashion industry we're part of has a big problem, and one that's getting bigger. Too much textile waste and discarded clothing ends up in landfill 10,000 items every five minutes in fact. Worse, the industry is the third biggest consumer of water (after paper and oil) and produces 25% of all waste water. By comparison, one triple pack of TORE socks can save two years' worth of drinking water, and diverts the equivalent of 2.4 water bottles and 0.6 t-shirts away from landfill. That might not sound like much, but every race has to start somewhere, and we're ready to take on the marathon task of bettering our planet.
