Sustainability Story

At Wild Rye, we're dedicated to an ethical and sustainable supply chain. We use only premium materials so your apparel lasts a lifetime, and doesn't end up in a landfill. As we look ahead, we're incorporating more recycled materials into each of our products. We've transitioned to using recycled and recyclable mailers, as well as recycled poly bags. We also offer our customers the option to further offset their carbon use with each purchase and continually seek opportunities to care for our planet.
