Tellus Outdoor

Leading the Way as a New Sustainable Outdoor Brand

At Tellus Outdoor, we believe outdoor adventures should not come at the planet's expense. As a sustainable outdoor brand, our mission is to pioneer responsible practices and environmental stewardship in every aspect of our business. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, our journey began a year ago with the opening of our flagship store. Now, we are growing our online presence as we gear up for the holiday shopping season.

What It Means to Be a Sustainable Outdoor Brand

At its core, being a sustainable outdoor brand means taking responsibility for the impact our products and business practices have on the environment. This starts with the materials we use. We make every piece of Tellus apparel from recycled or organic materials, which helps reduce our environmental footprint. This is particularly important considering that less than 1% of clothing today uses recycled materials, while 85% of textiles end up in landfills.We are also mindful of our supply chain and production processes.

We are also mindful of our supply chain and production processes. We create all Tellus-manufactured apparel using bluesign® certified fabrics, ensuring that we keep harmful chemicals out of our products. Our priority is protecting both the environment and the workers involved in the production. And, our Global Recycled Standard and Recycled Claims Standard certifications guarantee that 95% of our recycled materials meet high environmental and ethical standards.

Tellus meets and exceeds the criteria for a sustainable outdoor brand by focusing on these sustainable practices. We are also pursuing our B Corp certification. This certification will further ensure our business operates with the highest environmental and social performance standard.

Sustainable Materials and Sourcing

Tellus

When it comes to materials, Tellus products showcase what's possible in sustainable innovation. Our performance shorts and joggers incorporate Seawool®, a textile made from recycled oyster shell waste and plastic bottles. Not only is this fabric durable and functional, but it also helps divert waste from landfills and oceans. Additionally, all our outerwear features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment that is PFC-free. It avoids the toxic chemicals typically used in waterproofing treatments.

Even our accessories follow the same principles. We craft our duffle bags and backpacks using XPac® fabric, made in 100% climate-neutral facilities out of material that is 100% recycled post-consumer polyester. We design these bags for adventure while minimizing environmental impact. Learn More
