Sustainable Apparel Manufacturing
When we look to the future of garment production, we see green. We recognize the importance of incorporating environmental stewardship into every aspect of our operations and our relationships with our clients and suppliers. Cameo’s commitment to sustainability is also a commitment to ongoing innovation in order to propel our business — and yours — forward.
Cameo’s assurance to you that this product is produced with certified recycled materials. We work closely with our partners to ensure that these recycled materials are genuine quality product.
5.2 million
recycled plastic bottles
Since 2020, we have integrated the equivalent of 5.2 million recycled plastic bottles into high-quality synthetic fibres in the sustainable textile manufacturing of Cameo socks, headwear, neckwear, base layers and other knit products.
Working in conjunction with our partners, we are constantly looking for new ways and ideas to build on our environmental successes. By 2030, Cameo will surpass 15 million plastic bottles saved from oceans and landfills.
Over 1,000,000
kilograms of recycled cotton
For over two decades, Cameo has been at the forefront of sustainable textile innovation. As one of the earliest adopters of recycled cotton in the industry, we began integrating recycled fibers into our manufacturing processes in the early 2000s. Since then, we have incorporated more than 1,000,000 kilograms of recycled cotton into our production, helping to reduce dependence on virgin resources and advance a more circular textile economy.
Through this long-standing commitment, Cameo has helped achieve meaningful environmental benefits, including significant water conservation, reduced carbon emissions, and the diversion of textile waste from landfills. Our leadership in recycled cotton reflects a broader dedication to responsible manufacturing, innovation, and sustainability.
Organic materials
We are actively exploring other avenues to produce materials using renewable plant-based fibres with a low environmental impact. Our current product offering includes fibres made from kapok, corn, seaweed and other naturally sustainable materials in addition to other regenerative alternatives. Some of these fibres also provide the additional benefit of natural technical features such as a lighter weight, thermal efficiency and moisture wicking.

Wool
Recycled wool is another highly sustainable option. Apart from keeping used wool garments out of landfills, recycled wool saves a considerable amount of water and reduces the need for chemical dyes. Compared to virgin wool, recycled wool products use 500 litres (130 gallons) less water per kilogram and generate 11 kilograms (24 pounds) less carbon dioxide.

Synthetic fibres
The recycled synthetic fibres made from plastic bottles have sought-after properties such as enhanced moisture wicking, adaptive warming and cooling, and water repellency. And diverting this and other plastic waste from landfills translates to a whole host of environmental benefits: less contamination in our soil and oceans, reduced petroleum consumption and fewer greenhouse gases.
Packaging
We make it a point of minimizing our packaging at every step of the manufacturing and shipping process. We have set ourselves a goal of reducing overall packaging volume and are committed to using lower-impact kraft paper and/or FSC-certified materials for a smaller environmental footprint. In addition, we are enrolled in sustainable packaging stewardship programs in the aim to reduce our carbon emissions.
