Teko, a relatively new sock company that launched at the last OR Summer Market, has been busy making sure it truly has the most environmentally sustainable company on the show floor. The company was recently awarded the Backpacker Magazine “Editors Choice Green 2005” award for its commitment to sustainable production.
In its product line, Teko uses only recycled polyester or organic natural materials, such as organic cotton and organic Tasmanian merino wool. All materials used in packaging, catalogues, and even press kits and business cards are made of recycled paper. The company is not only choosing eco-friendly materials for production, but also 100% of the electricity used in operations and manufacturing is offset by the purchase of “clean sustainable” American wind power.
