Vans’ new Eco Positivity Pack spreads awareness about environmental causes and demonstrates a sustainable model for the future. The collection uses organic and recycled materials in both the footwear and apparel, with the Circle Vee featuring a knit upper section made with 47 percent organic cotton, 47 percent hemp and a footbed made from at least 70 percent biobased foam derived from plant-based oils.
The apparel in the Eco Positivity Pack was also created with sustainability in mind, with long and short-sleeve tees made with organic cotton and the shacket and shorts are made from organic cotton canvas.
In celebration of Earth Day, Vans is highlighting its brand partners Wade Goodall, Trevor Wheatley and Surf Ghana to show how they are using their platforms to make an impact on the environment.
