Materials Matter
Tread lighter in style.
The global fashion industry generates 92 million tonnes of textile waste annually. At AKANOMA, we’re committed to style with a lighter impact—using recycled materials and non-toxic dyes to reduce waste and reimagine the future of fashion.
RECYCLED COTTON
Recycled cotton diverts waste, conserves resources, and lowers environmental impact—delivering softness and durability with less harm to the planet.
RECYCLED POLYESTER
We transform post-consumer plastic into durable recycled polyester, keeping microplastics out of our planet while adding style to your adventures.
RECYCLED NYLON
Crafted from recycled nylon tights, carpets, and fishing nets, our material reduces ocean waste while delivering top-tier quality and performance. Step responsibly.
OEKO-TEX DYE
The Oeko-Tex Standard ensures every step of our textile process is 100% free from harmful chemicals, guaranteeing human and ecological safety.
BLUESIGN-CERTIFIED DYES
Bluesign-certified dyes eliminate hazardous chemicals, ensuring safer working conditions, reduced water use, and less pollution for a more sustainable production process.
RECYCLED PACKAGING
Our recycled carton boxes, hang tags, wrapping paper, and canvas bags are made from post-consumer waste, minimizing landfill and conserving resources.

Reciprocity in Every Step
One Tree Planted for Every Order
As part of our sustainability commitment, we partner with Sprout and The Good API to plant a tree for every purchase. Mangrove trees, planted in Kenya, Madagascar, and Indonesia, restore ecosystems, support communities, and combat climate change by absorbing carbon and preventing erosion. Through Veritree, you can track the impact of your tree and see the difference your purchase makes.
1% for The Planet
Collective action adds up. As a certified partner of 1 % for the Planet, we join thousands of global businesses dedicated to giving back 1% of their annual sales to environmental causes around the world. When you make an AKANOMA purchase, you get to contribute to a cause of your choice, without any extra fee, including Biodiversity and Wildlife, Marine Ecosystems, Environmental Education, and Climate Adaptation.
