Overview

Rhone is careful not to present itself as a sustainable brand but rather a responsible one. Unfortunately, there isn’t enough information on their website to gauge their commitment. The company claims that it is doing its part to protect the environment, but there are only broad brush strokes and no specifics available.

Rhone’s Sustainability Efforts

Sustainable Materials: The Rhone website lists recycled polyester, merino wool, modal, and organic cotton, but it does not provide information about the number of products or the percentage of these materials used in its collection.
Packaging: The brand is moving towards more sustainable packaging as of Spring 2021. They replaced plastic tags with FSC-certified post-consumer recycled paper and cotton. Though still made of plastic, they are using mailers made from recycled nylon and post-industrial recycled plastic.

What we would like to see improved

Provide more information on carbon emissions and supply chain sustainability. What are their current initiatives to reduce emissions and greenhouse gases?
Provide transparency on the chemicals used in its products and identify potential impacts on their supply chain from production to the release of harmful chemicals into the waterways after being laundered.
Develop a comprehensive take-back or recycling program for end-of-life Rhone clothing.
