Reusable water bottle? Check. Metal straw? Check. Bamboo utensils for on-the-go snacking? Got em! Our bags are filled with eco-friendly goods, but what about the arm thats carrying them? Often our workout clothes are made out of nylon and polyester, which require a ton of energy to create and are not sustainable. According to the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe,the fashion industry is responsible for about 10 percent of global carbon emissions and nearly 20 percent of wastewater. The clothes we choose to wear should be the next step in our eco-evolution, and activewear is just the place to start.

With so many environmentally-conscious sportswear companies popping up on the market, these eco-friendly activewear brands make it easy, affordable, and cool to shop sustainably without compromising style. The best part? They are sure to stand up to your sweatiest workouts! Peep the 6 looks below from our fave eco-friendly activewear brands.

Wolven activewear is made from recycled plastic bottles and carbon-neutral fabrics. They also partner with NativeEnergy to offset their operations carbon footprint. If youre as pro-pattern as I am, the Fractal Leggings ($76) are the answer to your prayers. Soft enough to pair with a sweater for a cozy WFH fit but durable enough to withstand a HIIT Zoom workout, they are a versatile choice so you look cool no matter what youre up to.

My favorite bra brand just launched their new Eco-Active line, including leggings, sports bras, and bike shorts all made from 75 percent recycled polyester. The Active Racerback Bra ($35) holds everything in place and is officially a staple in my permanent workout-wear collection.

With tops, shorts, and leggings all made from recycled polyester and nylon, Yoga Democracy uses a low-energy, zero-water process, non-toxic dyes, and donates 10 percent of sales to a variety of environmental causes. The sweat-wicking, totally tubular-looking, sun-protecting Groovy Girl Printed Bell Bottoms ($90) speak for themselves, dont they?

Not only does Girlfriend Collective use recycled materials and organic cotton for their styles, they also use recycled, reusable packaging for their shipping. The Classic Joggers ($78) are officially the uniform of Cozytown, and I refuse to change out of them. Available in five pastel shades, the high-waisted pants are perfect for a quick sweat sesh or with a classic leather jacket out to brunch.

Nubia Natalie is passionate about producing quality activewear with a social impact. They work with traditional ethnic minority tribes in Mexico to support artisans work while also using recycled and eco-friendly fabrics. The Lupita Sports Bra ($58) is super supportive, and a portion of every sale is donated to the Huichol Center.

SummerSalts products are the perfect combo of data-backed sizing, durability, and sustainability. After taking over 1.5 million measurements from all body types around the country, they created looks that fit every body and are meant to last. They also use recycled materials in production and in packaging. The Beyond the Lounge Chair Windbreaker ($95) is colorful, breathable, and great for rain or shine. I cant say no to anything in a color block and it even has a hidden hood for emergencies.
