Allied Feather + Down and Nemo equipment have joined forces to create a more sustainable future for down insulation. Allied, a global leader in ethically sourced and recycled down, is supplying it’s down to Nemo'sendless promise sleeping bag collection, which recently won the Good Design sustainability award.
The Disco and Riff down sleeping bags are designed to be fully recyclable. At the end of their lifespan, they can be returned to Allied, where the down insulation will be removed, cleaned, and recycled into Renu:Trace. This innovative program is the world's first and only fully traceable recycled down offering.
Allied's partnership with Nemo is a major step towards creating a circular economy for down. Daniel Uretsky, Allied's President, stated that down is one of the most sustainable insulations because it is recyclable and biodegradable. He also emphasized that Renu:Trace guarantees that recycled down is fully traceable and ethically sourced.
Allied's commitment to ethical sourcing and traceability is unwavering. Every down feather is traced back to its region of origin, guaranteeing that it comes from ethical sources. The Renu:Trace program is a game-changer, as it allows brands to focus on both post-consumer recycled material and ethically treated animals. While Nemo is the first to participate, the program is open to all of Allied's partner brands.
