Committed to a Sustainable Future
At English Braids, sustainability is woven into everything we do. From sourcing materials responsibly to reducing our environmental footprint, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. Our commitment goes beyond compliance—our aim is to set new standards for sustainable manufacturing in the rope and cordage industry, supporting a greener future for generations to come.
Our R5 Philosophy
At English Braids, sustainability is more than just an initiative—it is a promise embedded in everything we do. Our R5 Philosophy drives our commitment to minimise environmental impact while delivering premium rope solutions that meet industry demands. Our R5 sustainability promise is built around five key principles:
-
Reuse
Reuse
We continually explore ways to reuse rope and encourage our customers to extend the lifespan of their products. When ropes reach the end of their life cycle, we donate them to local organisations for repurposing, giving them a second life.
-
Recycle
Recycle
By manufacturing ropes from recycled materials like rPET, we help reduce the environmental burden caused by plastic waste. Each metre of rPET rope repurposes around seven plastic bottles, keeping them out of landfills and oceans.
-
Redesign
Redesign
Using sustainable fibres such as Dyneema®, we develop ropes that not only meet the highest performance standards but also reduce the demand for raw materials, contributing to the preservation of our rainforests.
-
Reject

We actively reject waste, reducing excessive packaging and opting for environmentally friendly alternatives whenever possible.

Across our entire process, from manufacturing to distribution, we continually work to reduce energy consumption and minimise our overall environmental footprint, ensuring that sustainability is a priority without compromising on quality.
