We are currently working with our manufacturers to switch to recycled materials where possible. From the initial setup of the company we wanted to reduce our footprint and decided to partner up with One Tree Planted, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to global reforestation.
Our aims for 2022/2023
We are workling with our manufactures to switch to a plant based, environmentally friendly waterproofing solution which doesn't contain any harmful compounds.
We are looking to switch our fabric to 100% recycled nylon that would otherwise be destined for landfill and switch the inner fabric to 100% recycled polyester.
One Tree Planted
We are working with One Tree to plant trees around the world to help counteract the impact of our carbon footprint.
“Working with One Tree Planted is a great fit for EQUIDRY,” it’s great to have another way to give back and help the environment.”
The objectives of this new partnership include:
- Supporting global reforestation efforts
- Empowering consumers with sustainable actions
- Raising awareness about the importance of ecosystem restoration
Planting trees is one of the best ways to combat the damaging effects of climate change. Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80 percent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity. Trees also provide tremendous social impacts by providing jobs to over 1.6 billion people, empowering women in underdeveloped nations, and supporting communities devastated by environmental damage.
The partnership is designed to be simple for customers to get involved in global reforestation. Trees are planted by local partner organisations and community volunteers in areas where there has been deforestation.

Their projects span the globe and are done in partnership with local communities and knowledgeable experts to create an impact for nature, people, and wildlife.
