Ethical wool
Posted: Sunday, February 10th, 2008
I love wool, especially merino wool, but the wool industry can be just as questionable as the rest of the textile industry. Through my research online I have found Zque, a New Zealand company that combines high quality merino wool with an accreditation program that ensures high social, economic, environmental, and ethical animal welfare standards.
I love my Smartwool socks and I feel better wearing them knowing they are produced ethically. Other companies that are using Zque wool are Ibex and Icebreaker.
