PVRE Green Challenge

Protest X Nu Cycle

To raise even more awareness, we have created the PVRE Green challenge. We challenge our team riders to think about what they can do for the natural environments they love and how they can help make people more aware of what is happening to the earth. Our team rider Maria Kuzma is also an Architectural Activist for Nu Cycle, a solutions-based waste offset service to neutralize their waste impact. As part of the PVRE Green challenge Maria connected the both organizations. Together they neutralize the annual waist impact of each of Protest’s employees by getting Nu Cycle to remove the equivaling amount of waste out of those environments that are most effected by the global waste problem. Read more about this project: Protest x Nu Cycle.

From words to action, to get there

Our road to sustainability

Every season, we challenge ourselves to become even more sustainable by creating collections that are produced responsibly from high-quality raw materials. We also assess the impact of our production and delivery process and actively seek out ways to improve these. At Protest, we take social responsibility very seriously. We are a member of Amfori BSCI, which aims to improve social performance in global supply chains, and we are affiliated with ReFashion, DerGrünePunkt and Léko, which specialise in packaging recycling. We also support the Surf Project, which provides surfing lessons to children with Down syndrome, ADHD and autism. Follow our sustainability process, in which we pursue greener production, greener products and a greener shipping process to create a greener future for us all. This complex process requires step-by-step changes. We’ve divided the process into distinct building blocks that allow us to set smaller, more realistic goals. More of our products will be made from recycled fabrics each new season. Let’s go green together!

PVRE Green

Sustainable produced

At Protest, we have a commitment to preserving our beautiful planet. That's why we strive to constantly expand and improve our PVRE Green collection. Our goal is to expand our collection that is not only trendy and functional, but also has a positive impact on the environment and society. We favour recycled or organic fabrics because we believe these materials are the future. Consider, for example, recycled polyester, a material ideal for winter and outdoor clothing because of its strength, flexibility and ease of maintenance. In cooperation with specialist brands such as REPREVE or brands with the GRS quality mark of approval (Global Recycled Standard is a quality mark that indicates whether a product actually contains recycled material), we convert used plastic bottles and other PET plastics into high-quality recycled polyester fibres. This way, we give a second life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or in the ocean, and reduce CO2 emissions by 59% compared to virgin polyester. We also care about human health, which is why we avoid harmful substances in our products according to REACH and strive for PFC-free solutions.

Material Guide

An overview of our sustainable fabrics

At Protest, we make our garments from superior, technical fabrics. As part of our Sustainability initiative, we now use innovative and sustainable materials that leave a smaller footprint. We want all the fabrics used to make our clothes to be safe for people and the environment. That is why we have a Restricted Substances List (RSL). This list contains the limits for harmful chemicals in finished products. We constantly update this list in line with new developments and legislation in Europe. Below is an overview of the upcycled substances we use in our collections.

Product care

Responsible laundering

A Guppyfriend laundry bag captures microparticles of polyester and nylon released during washing, which normally end up in the sea via sewage and water treatment. And that has two important advantages: your clothes last longer and it is better for the environment.

PFC- & PFAS-free

Why we don't want to use PFCs and PFAS

We have set the ambitious goal of replacing all PFCs and PFAS in our collection with eco-friendly alternatives by 2030. PFCs and PFAS are used to make outdoor clothing waterproof and make it resistant to oil and dirt. Also known as 'forever chemicals', PFCs and PFAS are virtually non-biodegradable in nature and are increasingly expanding in our food chain. By no longer using PFCs and PFAS in our clothes, we are making a conscious choice to reduce the harmful effects of these chemicals on the environment and animal and human health. The PFC-free finish we use is a safe substitute and is in no way inferior to PFC-containing ones in terms of water-repellency or breathability.
