Our ratings are based on a scale from 1 (We avoid) to 5 (Great) How we rate


Our “Planet” rating evaluates brands based on the environmental policies in their supply chains, from carbon emissions and wastewater to business models and product circularity. Here we rate CYCLEING “Great”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses a high proportion of lower-impact materials including upcycled materials.
  • Its use of lower-impact materials minimises chemicals, water, and wastewater in production.
  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.

Workers’ rights are central to our “People” rating, which assess brands’ policies and practices on everything from child labour to living wages and gender equality. Unfortunately, CYCLEING does not publish sufficient information. You have a right to know how the products you buy affect the issues you care about.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate CYCLEING “Good”. These are a few factors influencing its score:

  • It uses recycled wool in all of its wool products.
  • It doesn’t appear to use leather, exotic animal hair, down, fur, angora, or exotic animal skin.

Based on all publicly available information we’ve reviewed, we rate CYCLEING “It's a Start” overall.
