Crafting the Future of activewear in Europe
At WECY, we don’t just make clothes—we craft European values into every stitch. By partnering with local Producers and innovators across the continent, we’re redefining what it means to create activewear that’s built to last, not landfill.
Why Europe?
Sustainability in Action: Europe’s world-leading regulations ensure our materials are free from harmful chemicals and produced under strict environmental and social standards. Think fewer toxins, cleaner water, and safer workplaces.
Carbon-Conscious Craftsmanship: Shorter transportation routes slash emissions, while collaborations with EU innovators drive circular solutions - like recycled fibers and zero-waste designs.
Transparency You Can Trust: Working locally means we see every step. From ethical factories to fair wages, our partnerships prioritize people and planet—not just profit.
Beyond the Product
Choosing European production isn’t just about reducing footprints—it’s about building a legacy. By supporting local economies and skilled craftspeople, we’re fostering a activewear ecosystem that values quality over quantity and connection over consumption.
The Bigger Picture
As the EU pushes for durable, recyclable textiles by 2030, we’re ahead of the curve. Our commitment to European production aligns with a future where every garment tells a story of innovation, responsibility, and pride.
Why we use recycled fabrics
At WECY, we choose recycled fabrics because they’re a powerful tool for change - good for you, your workouts, and the planet. Here’s the proof:
1. Cut Energy Use & Carbon Footprints
Producing recycled fabrics requires up to 75% less energy than virgin materials. For example, making recycled polyester saves enough energy to power homes for months. This reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared to virgin polyester, directly combating climate change.
2. Rescue Waste, Protect Resources
Recycled fabrics give new life to plastic bottles, old clothes, and textile scraps—diverting waste from landfills and oceans. These materials cut carbon emissions by up to80%compared to virgin alternatives: recycled polyester uses59% less energy, and polyamidereduces greenhouse gases by 50-70%. Every ton of recycled polyester saves3.8 barrels of oiland rescues40+ plastic bottlesfrom landfills and oceans. Plus, their production requires minimal water and avoids petroleum extraction, protecting ecosystems.
3. Cleaner Production, Safer Communities
Strict EU regulations ensure recycled fabrics are made with fewer toxic chemicals, protecting workers and ecosystems. Our processes align with OEKO-TEX® and Bluesign® standards, guaranteeing safer workplaces and cleaner air.
4. Circular Activewear = Smarter Activewear
Recycled fabrics are just the start. By designing clothes that can be recycled again, we’re building a closed-loop system where nothing goes to waste. Imagine your old leggings becoming tomorrow’s yoga mat—that’s the future we’re crafting.
5. Your Choice Drives Change
When you wear WECY, you’re not just choosing activewear—you’re voting for a greener world.
