# Eco-Conscious Athletic Wear Brands TMPL Sportswear is Built on an Ethical and Sustainable Practice By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-10-10 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoconscious-athletic-wear References: [tmplsportswear](https://tmplsportswear.com/pages/our-story) [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ada-cosmetics)-conscious athletic wear is highly desired because it is not only good for the environment, but it is also kind to the body. When sport performance-oriented clothing is not properly vetted and does not employ thoughtfully sourced materials, "toxins from chemicals and dyes [...] can be absorbed into the body from friction, heat, and sweat [during exercise]." Keeping this in mind, TMPL Sportswear builds its practice entirely with regard to the principles of sustainability and ethics. The brand's [eco-conscious athletic wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-ready-sports-bra) utilizes free-from-toxins dyes and fabrics and is manufactured locally, "employing the [fairest labor practices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breathable-materials)" and a safe work environment. Moreover, the TMPL Sportswear collections are performance-driven, as well -- from anti-odor technology and four-way stretch to UV protection and optimal breathability.
