Aritzia

Aritzia uses a majority of high impact fibers in its garments, including virgin polyester, conventional cotton, conventional cellulosics, and other virgin synthetics. It has started to incorporate lower impact materials in some garments, including GRS recycled polyester, organic cotton, and TENCEL Lyocell. The brand has targets to increase its use of certain low impact fibers by 2027, and it has reported its progress against this target in the past year.

Aritzia utilizes renewable energy via RECs in its direct operations and a portion of its production. Aritzia sources and manufactures its materials globally, which is standard practice in the fashion industry.

Aritizia has made some efforts to reduce the amount of virgin plastic in its packaging, including incorporating recycled paper and FSC-certified materials.

Aritzia doesn't offer repair services or a warranty. It gives detailed care instructions to extend garment lifespan, though the instructions are not always eco-friendly.
