The Sustainability behind E-Zmate(TM) socks from Climatesox.com
Jun 04, 2026
As clothing waste is piled up on beaches and in the Atacama desert & governments cut back on clean energy, we at Climatesox felt the urgency to make the sock part of the clothing industry significantly more SUSTAINABLE. Over several years, we figured out that reprogramming sock knitting machines to create linkable loops on socks could lead consumers to save energy by avoiding the energy hog electric dryer (3-6Kwhr/load) and hang drying socks along with the entire laundry. Seems like a hassle but we removed the sock sorting hassle to make way for what is practiced in most of the world--70% of Japanese and over 50% of European households hang dry. Inside, a small folding rack works fine, but outside, you get the added wonderful benefit of a fresh sunshine smell in your cloths as UV rays kill bacteria. As sunny summer approaches, try a few pair of our E-Zmate(TM) socks and a sustainability habit that will make your feet and heart feel great.
