As everyone from Emma Watson to Rooney Mara does their bit to help perpetuate the growing sustainable fashion market, more and more sustainable options become available to us mere mortals, too.
So many more in fact, that you're even spoiled for choice now when it comes to picking an eco-friendly outfit to wear to the gym! Here's some of our favourite activewear with eco values.
Super-cosy and designed to free you up to MOVE, this hoodie even has thumb holes à la your Year 11 Punkyfish zip-up to stop your wrists getting cold. Pepper And Mayne is committed to a traceable supply chain, ethical trade and sustainable materials, and all garments are made in eco-label approved factories in Europe and Nepal.
Pepper And Mayne Compression Hoody in Star Jacquard, £100, available at Rêve En Vert
Good for outdoor exercise while the weather is still a big pile of rubbish, this H&M Conscious top is made in line with the brand's seven commitments for the range, which include using natural resources responsibly, being climate-smart, being ethical, and reducing, reusing and recycling.
H&M Conscious Sports Top, £17.99, available at H&M
Believe it or not, these leggings are made of recycled coffee waste mesh fabric and apparently are excellent at retaining their odour control, so they won’t end up smelling after the 20th wash – not even of coffee.
Starseeds Aeropress Leggings, £68, available at Starseeds.eu
Part of Speedo’s new H20 Active range, which you can wear in the pool and out. It’s made of EcoNyl – a material created from recycled nylon, which comes from things like fishing nets.

ellesse’s Recycled Sports Collection in conjunction with Lucy Mecklenburgh is made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate fabric and plays on the idea that the plastic bottles you use to rehydrate at the gym can be reused and turned into these snazzy leggings.

This cropped number is good for sweat and hot indoor workouts, and would look great in summer with your 501s. Also, it’s made from fabrics spun from recycled plastic water bottles.

Because your gymwear doesn’t have to be boring. These yoga pants have a high waist to stop them falling down when you're in downward dog, and they’re made from 95% recycled fibres.
