03 Compensate
Sterling has always been a sustainable rope company. Our goal is to minimize waste wherever possible. All our waste fiber is recycled, all our cardboard is repurposed, our oils and cleaners are captured and disposed of properly, and plastic bags used to protect our yarn coming in are used to protect our ropes and spools going out. We are going above and beyond the work we are already doing by becoming Climate Neutral Certified. We are honored to work with Climate Neutral to measure our 2020 carbon footprint, offset it in its entirety by purchasing quality carbon credits, and reduce our emissions moving forward.
