The future of our planet’s survival depends on how quickly and how effectively we change the way we live. And this isn’t just about big government policy – it includes individual choices and it’s about how we make things.

So Kingly has taken a leaf out of nature’s book. Watching nature, seeing how there are few straight lines but plenty of virtuous circles, we have made a deliberate choice to implement closed circular loops in our manufacturing, and in every other aspect of our business. We’re choosing ethically sourced raw materials and we’re choosing to design out pollution and waste.

Kingly Ltd is pioneering the closed circular loop in the garments industry. They are leading the charge to make the garments industry environmentally sustainable.

It’s founder and CEO, Rob Armour, had a successful career in the garments industry. But he had become increasingly frustrated with the disregard for the environment shown by so many producers. He knew there was a better way and starting his own business seemed the obvious solution.

Kingly – which is a leading producer of promotional merchandise including socks, T-shirts and towels – operate a circular closed loop in their manufacturing processes.

First, all resources are ethically sourced and then, in production, all surpluses, waste and trimmings are recycled or upcycled. Organic cotton come only from regions where water consumption does not impact on local need; and synthetic fibres (polyester and nylon) will be 100% post-consumer from April 2021. For other products, for example, hand sanitizer gel, bottles are 100% recycled plastic – 100% R-PET.

One of their ground-breaking products is upcycled socks sold in compostable bags, which won the prestigious 2020 Promotional Gift Award. One pair of upcycled socks saves a staggering 1300 litres of water per pair and no dyes or chemicals are used in the upcycling process. Cartons and boxes use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified cardboard, and item tags are also FSC certified card.
