About Teko Socks:

At Teko they are not only commited to making the best socks ON the planet – they strive to make the best socks FOR the planet too!  They approach sustainability as a balancing act.  It’s not possible to produce a product without using energy and natural resources, so their mission is to minimize footprint at every stage.  A major element of this commitment is constant research of new materials and production techniques to make that footprint smaller.

• Energy: Teko is 100% wind-powered at the office and the factory. Carbon offsets are purchased for staff travel.
• Materials: Their organic merino wool comes from Argentina from a group of farms that have been raising sheep organically for decades. Only non-motorized methods are used to herd the sheep. They are fed only organically-grown food and are not subjected to hormones, vaccinations, mulesing, or chemical drenches. Their grazing area is never sprayed with pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. Strict water conservation methods are employed, as are protections against overgrazing.  Organic merino wool is substantially more expensive than the non-organic alternative, but Teko believes the investment is worth it, both for consumers and the planet.
• Their recycled EVAPOR8 polyester fiber is made from 100% post-consumer waste, like plastic bottles.
• Chlorine-free processing: The chlorine-free process used to make M3RINO.XC machine washable and shrink-proof, is the only Bluesign® certified shrink-proofing process currently available for wool.
• Non-toxic dyes: No allergens, carcinogens, heavy metals or formaldehyde are used in our dyes. OekoTex 100 certification.
• Made in the USA: All of Teko’s socks are knitted in North Carolina. This saves trans-Pacific shipping energy and pollutants. Well-regulated US facilities produce much lower levels of pollution.
