Kingly’s clients preserve more than 29 million litres of water with upcycled socks
M
ore than 41,000 pairs of upcycled socks manufactured by Kingly on behalf of forward-thinking companies have saved 29.4 million litres of water. This amount of water is the equivalent of more than 11.8 Olympic-sized swimming pools. In addition, 109,875 kWh of energy were preserved, equivalent to powering 125 homes for a month or 10 homes for an entire year, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting a cleaner future. The initiative also prevented the release of 45,077 kilograms of CO2 emissions, comparable to the emissions from 45 round-trip fl ights between New York and London, taking a meaningful step toward combating climate change. Moreover, 4,972sq m of landfi ll space were spared – an area equal to 19 tennis courts – helping to reduce harmful methane emissions and prolong landfi ll lifespans.
Rob Armor, CEO of Kingly, said: “This achievement isn’t just about what we do at Kingly – it’s about what our clients make possible by choosing eco-friendly solutions.

Last year, 43 visionary companies partnered with Kingly on 61 orders of upcycled socks, collectively saving over 26.8 million litres of water, among other achievements.
