Sheep Inc sets itself apart as a first-of-its-kind carbon-negative fashion brand by working with carbon-neutral farms, manufacturers that rely on 100% renewable energy and significantly offsetting the carbon footprint of its pieces. The brand debuted a single, fully biodegradable sweater design made with ZQ-certified Merino wool that combines softness and technical benefits—the blend of wool is heat-regulating, doesn't need to be washed very often, doesn't hold onto odors and naturally repels dirt.
Each of the carbon-neutral, unisex sweaters comes with an NFC tag that can be scanned to reveal more information about the individual product, including the name of the sheep that provided the wool for the sweater, as well as other info on water usage and the production of the garment.
