New ReComp™ fabric and Looptworks partnership
amplify the brand's commitment to sustainable innovation and a
circular economy
CORTEZ,
Colo., Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This fall,
Osprey, a Helen of Troy Limited (NASDAQ: HELE) brand, debuts its
most sustainable, responsible and forward-thinking collection
to-date. The upcoming season reflects Osprey's unwavering
dedication to reducing environmental impacts and supporting a
circular economy with the introduction of a proprietary ReComp™
fabric, a new U.S.-based partnership with circular solutions and
textile recycling brand Looptworks, and a growing line of products
with the certified bluesign® Product designation.
Turning waste into sustainable design, the introduction of
ReComp fabric marks Osprey's next leap in material innovation.
ReComp repurposes and transforms Osprey's manufacturing scraps into
a 70% post-consumer and 30% pre-consumer recycled polyester main
body fabric, which is featured in the season's all-new Arcane™
Earth series. In addition to ReComp, Arcane Earth's design
technology uses 85% recycled EVA foam, 100% recycled labels and
zipper pulls, and a minimal dyeing process that reduces water and
energy consumption compared to traditional methods. Osprey's new
Arcane Earth series features a Duffel Pack (MSRP $170), Roll Top Pack (MSRP $130), Large Day Pack (MSRP $120) and Hip Bag (MSRP $70).
Osprey's new U.S.-based partnership with Certified B Corporation
Looptworks will further achieve next-level, end-of-use recycling
for fall 2025. The partnership ensures any products that can't be
donated or repaired through Osprey's All Mighty Guarantee™ will be
downcycled as a solution to reduce textile waste and landfill
impact. Looptworks will collect, sort, deconstruct and transform
Osprey's donated textiles into a non-woven fiber that's used to
make non-woven products such as insulation, carpet padding,
concrete binding and acoustic tiles.
"Each season, Osprey continues to push boundaries with bold
design and sustainable innovation, with the goal of being a more
conscientious and progressive outdoor brand," said Mark Galbraith, VP of Product. "We're thrilled
to be partnering with a like-minded company such
as Looptworks, that shares our passion and dedication to
reducing waste and making a positive change in our
environment."
Since becoming a bluesign SYSTEM PARTNER in 2021 and then
introducing the certified bluesign Product label to its collection
in 2024 , Osprey has continued to promote, adopt and implement safe
chemistry and responsible practices throughout its supply chain. In
fall 2025, 83% of Osprey's entire product line will carry the
bluesign Product designation — a 13% increase since fall 2024.
Consumer products carrying the certified bluesign Product label
meet strict safety and environmental requirements. The products are
made of bluesign approved materials and are produced in a
resource-conserving way with a minimum impact on people and the
environment.
Osprey's fall 2025 collection, including the new Arcane Earth
series, will be available in July
2025 at www.osprey.com and at specialty retailers in over 60
countries worldwide. To learn more about Osprey's sustainability
