OUR IMPACT
Since the inception of Proto Marín, the mission was to design original-print pieces made from a curated mix of low-impact textiles. We are a design-led, conscientious brand. We refuse to take shortcuts to sacrifice quality, and we carefully consider each decision we make.
Materials
Proto Marín recognizes that our choice of materials has the greatest impact on the environment.
Our Preferred Materials Matrix (PMM) allows us to clearly identify which fabrics to use, and informs us what to choose "Always," "Often," "Sometimes," and "Never." 75% of our products by weight were designed with preferred materials in 2025. These materials are selected for their lower environmental impact compared with conventional materials. Preferred materials include organic cotton, recycled fibres, and regenerative materials.
75% of the total material used by weight in 2025 was from preferred materials.
Less than 5% of fibre use in 2024 was from synthetics.
72% of the cotton used in 2024 was organic, which has a lower impact than conventional cotton.
