~エコロジーライン~
近年、エコに対する意識が高まっていく中、686も自然への還元を常々考えています。
ウェアーを制作するにあたり、たくさんのゴミの排出がある中、そのゴミを少しでも減らすためリサイクルするという考えから、使用できない切れ端の生地等を使用して出来上がったラインです。
そのため、ウェアーの配色がアソートカラーになるため、オンリーワンのジャケットを手に入れることが出来ます。
Welcome to Year Two of the Reclaim ProjectTM. Over 15 years ago, 686 was one of the first outerwear companies to introduce recycled polyesters made from plastic bottles into our products. Since then, we've used multiple sustain- able fabrications such as hemp and bamboo. This wasn't enough as far as we were concerned, so we took it a step further, simplifying the process by creating LESS of an impact on the environment. Thus, the 686 Reclaim Project was born. Each year, in America alone, there is over 25 million tons of textile-related waste. On a global basis at the factory level, the numbers are staggering with first quality fabrics, trims and materials unused and thrown away in a landfill somewhere. What the Reclaim Project does is take these new but unwanted pieces and to create a one-of- a-kind product. Our mission is to change the way you think and make you realize that old things can become NEW once again.
FOR THE 2011-2012 SEASON AND BEYOND, THE RECLAIM PROJECT X MATCH ONE FOUNDATION PROMISE TO DONATE ONE JACKET TO SOMEONE IN NEED FROM EVERY RECLAIM PURCHASE YOU MAKE.
