Aye, Aye Captain

The Eco Jacket is both recycled and recyclable and is the showcase product in Henri Lloyd’s mission to become a greener manufacturing company, as well as to be the first international marine clothing company to engage in an infinite recycling program.

Partnering with the Japanese company Teijin, and using their ECO CIRCLE recycling system, Henri Lloyd has been able to produce its first ever entirely sustainable sailing wear through its own Blue Eco ‘infinite-loop’ recycling system.

Under the ‘infinite-loop’ system, customers can return worn-out Eco products to Henri Lloyd for recycling through Teijin’s revolutionary fibre-to-fibre recycling facility. The recycled raw material is then converted into new, highly durable polyester fibres and engineered into fabric that is used for the manufacture of new Eco products.
