RECYCLED CASHMERE,
GIVING KNITWEAR NEW LIFE.

Cashmere is a knitwear staple, and while it offers a premium, ultra-soft feel, its traditional production process takes a toll on natural resources.

At PANGAIA, we’re on a mission to utilize more mindful materials that benefit people and planet. That’s why we’re embracing a kinder approach to cashmere. One that reduces waste, one yarn at a time.

The Problem

The production of cashmere has a significant impact on the planet, with a single cashmere sweater requiring the coats of four goats.

As the demand for cashmere has increased globally, driven by its reputation as a premium material, so too has the size of herds and the span of farmland.

This has led to biodiversity loss and land degradation due to the goats’ grazing habits. Goats eat grass, plants and plant roots, preventing natural regeneration and leaving behind large areas of arid, fragile soils and the risk of desertification.
