OUR MATERIALS

It’s collected within 30 miles of coastlines where there are no formal recycling programs, meaning it would otherwise likely end up in the water."

We’ve recycled 629,313 pounds (and counting!) of ocean-bound marine plastic—the equivalent weight of about two blue whales!

Recycled & FSC-certified

Rothy’s recycled packaging is made from Forest Stewardship Council certified cardboard, ensuring the materials used in the boxes did not contribute to deforestation or species endangerment.

3,300,000+ lbs of cardboard saved.

Our boxes are incredibly sturdy. They ship directly to our customers without needing to be put in a stronger box, which has saved over 3 million lbs. of cardboard to date—enough to cover an entire football field!

Machine washable & long lasting.

Fast fashion is an enormous burden on the planet. We believe in only making products that are durable enough to last for years—and are machine washable, so they’re like new over and over again. And the proof’s in our durability testing: Our super-strong bag handles can hold over 100 pounds!
