New Evolutionary Wool.  point6 merino is a naturally suatainable, earth-friendly fiber.  Renewable and biodegradable;  it is nature's original "green fiber". 

point6 yarns are processed and spun according to strict internatioanl standards.  The spinning mill is certified to ISO 9001 and our yarns meet Oeko-Tex Standard 100.  We use the most environmentally friendly dyes available for our merino wool yarn and utilize eco-sustainable processes.  Strictly non-hazardous dyes are used and energy consumption has been reduced in the processing.  70% of waste water from the dying process is recycled.

point6 uses 100% recycled fibers for our packaging and of that 58% are post-consumer recycled fibers. 73% renewable energy sources are utilized in production of our paperboard. 

1% for the Planet.  Environmental stewardship has been a guiding principle for point6 since the company's inception.  As a small company, we chose to make a more meaningful impact as members of 1% for the Planet by partnering with established non-profits that are working hard to protect our fragile earth.

Field marketing is a core component of point6' brand philosophy.  Waste created by printed materials is eliminated and replaced with direct interaction with our consumers.  We sponsor events that focus on sustainability and environmental awareness.  Trail maintenance, beach clean-ups, adventure films, climb-a-thons, and other events all raise awareness and provide support.

point6 employees participate in diligent recycling programs and energy conservation efforts to minimize our footprint on the planet.
