Wool
,/* Optimize sustainability benefits */
| '''Promote suppliers who use recycled Merino wool.''' || Available in Northern England and Prato, Italy. Since wool is a renewable resource, the primary benefit of recycled wool is in reducing loads on landfill. However, using recycled wool may also ease the pressure that industrialized sheep ranching places on the land. || Recycling wool creates shorter fibres, which need to be blended with a percentage of virgin wool or synthetic fibre to maintain strength for finer-count yarns. The coarser the yarn count, the less virgin wool or synthetic fibre is required.
|-
| '''Promote suppliers using Cardato Regenerated CO2 Neutral products.[11]''' || The Cardato Regenerated CO2 Neutral brand certifies both the carbon footprint of the textile production process and the use of regenerated raw materials.To carry the label, products must be produced in Prato; produced with at least 70% of recycled material (recycled clothing or textile off-cuts); and be made by mills that have accounted for their CO2 emissions and have purchased emission credits from the Prato Chamber of Commerce. ||
|-
| '''Promote the use of natural colour wool.''' || No bleaches or dyes are used in this case, and associated pollution impacts are avoided. ||
