Environment
Our products are 100% New Zealand made and the fibres we use are drawn from around our beautiful country. Because of this, Manawatu Knitting Mills is dedicated to the preservation of our country’s unique environment.
We strive to be business that has minimal negative impact on the global and local environment, who meets the needs of the present world without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs
Our in-house brand ‘MKM Original’ addresses issues around sustainability in the fashion and textile industry by using our unique recycled yarn called ECO BLEND.
ECO BLEND is another Manawatu Knitting Mills first that builds on the environmentally-friendly and sustainable properties of our wool garments. Yarn manufacture produces fibre fluff ordinarily discarded. In our Eco Blend, we’ve collected and re-spun the fibres to create an entirely new yarn with exceptional properties. It’s an innovation that has turned production waste into a premium yarn combining the best characteristics of its component fibres.
