Walking the Talk: The
Company The
Teko Challenge
Teko is committed to creating high-performance socks that
leave minimum impact on the great outdoors. Wear these
socks for a year, and if at anytime you are not 100%
delighted with the performance of your Teko socks, return
them for a new pair or refund.
Renewable
Energy
Teko
recognizes that our #1 contributor to green house
gases in the atmosphere is the way the
electricity we use gets produced. So we've
purchased enough wind energy credits to ensure
that 100% of the electricity we use in
manufacturing and operations get put back into
the energy grid from clean, sustainable American
Wind. Visit www.renewablechoice.com to learn more about how
you can offset your electricity use, too. |

Minimal
Packaging
Reduce,
recycle, reuse - We strive in minimizing the
amount of packaging needed for our products. For our packaging, we use
chipboard, which is a unique product made from
recycled materials. In a previous life, chipboard
may have been a cardboard box, newspaper, paper
bags or any other general paper product. Our
packaging is 100% recyclable.

Made
in the USA
We feel that it is
very important to support the manufacturing base
in the United States. We feel that by keeping our
manufacturing in the US, our products will be of
better quality, and we can ensure shorter
turnarounds on our orders. Our factory in Mount Airy,
North Carolina, recycles all the cardboard used
for our packaging. They also use a very low
amount of water in our washing process, whereas
most factories use water intensive paddle tubs.
Further, they understand the importance of
ecological manufacturing and constantly working
towards improving their methods and developing
new methods which will better suit the
environment.

| The
Sock: Performance Our technically advanced
designs give you all of the comfort in all the
right places. Combining fine yarns from around
the planet with high-performance features results
in a sock that hugs your foot "like a glove."
Teko has replaced
the nylon used as the skeletal fiber in most
socks with Ecopoly recycled polyester, which
keeps your feet drier due to better moisture
transfer. In order to maintain our performance
standards, we had to cover the Lycra with nylon.
This gives our socks the necessary fiber rebound
while using the minimal amount of nylon. We are
working hard to be able to use Ecopoly covered
Lycra and hope to have it in our products in the
near future.
