Mantra's Sustainability Rating
Great
Raw Materials
Mantra uses some lower impact fibers, including tencel eucalyptus tree fiber and 100% recycled polyester. It also uses high emissions fibers, including spandex and conventional cotton. The brand plans to reduce its reliance on high impact fibers with two ongoing goals: (1) transition 50% cotton fabric to organic or BCI certified cotton across its Essentials product line, and (2) develop a new, lower-impact performance fabric for its men's polo collections. Commons was not able to find recent reported progress on these goals within the last year.
