Our Mission
Sustainability & Impact
Our mission is to get more people outside and doing good while they’re out there.
At Keep Nature Wild, we care deeply about our planet and doing our part to protect the wild places we all love. From the cleanups we host to the products we design, sustainability is always top of mind. Through everyday adventure and collective action, we’re building a community that believes small actions can make a big impact.

OUR WAREHOUSE
It's the little things that make a big impact.
Biodegradable Cleanup Bags
We ship each order with a KNW biodegradable trash bag. We're always searching for ways we can provide more sustainable options!
Recycled Packaging Materials
We work to reduce unnecessary waste by reusing materials whenever possible and making thoughtful choices throughout our shipping process.
Our Sustainability Journey
As we continue to grow and develop our apparel and gear, sustainability will remain a top priority for our company. We are constantly exploring new materials and manufacturing processes that have a lower environmental impact, and we are committed to using these resources whenever possible.
Responsible Apparel
We are committed to responsible apparel and work with a mix of WRAP-certified manufacturing partners and trusted production teams we know personally. Our screen printing and embellishments are done with partners in Arizona, Texas, and Ohio.
Our Warehouse
Our warehouse team works hard to reduce unnecessary waste by reusing packaging materials whenever possible and finding thoughtful ways to extend the life of shipping supplies and materials from our vendors.
Cleanup Goods
Our KNW cleanup bags are biodegradable and included with every order to help encourage everyday stewardship out on the trail, at the park, or wherever adventure takes you.
Headwear
We're continuing to test new sustainable fabrics that will provide comfort and durability for our customers. We're expanding our collection of recycled polyester and acrylic styles.
Stickers
Our stickers are designed to inspire connection to the outdoors, spark conversations, and help grow a community that cares about keeping nature wild.
Fanny Packs
We've shifted all our fanny packs to a new durable recycled nylon exterior that is heavyweight and durable.
Drinkware
Single-use plastic bottles and styrofoam are some of the top plastic polluters. We offer drinkware to ditch single-use and move to reusables that are durable and built to last.
Accessories
We work with select domestic and Canadian manufacturing partners when possible and focus on creating durable products designed for repeat use and long-term adventure.
Our Ongoing Commitment to Sustainability
We believe that being a responsible member of the outdoor community means more than just selling high-quality gear. That's why we are committed to continually growing and making a positive impact in the outdoors through our actions and initiatives.
As a small outdoor brand, we know that we have a long way to go in our sustainability efforts. However, we are committed to continually improving and pushing ourselves to do better. We are constantly seeking out new ways to reduce our environmental footprint and support fair labor practices, and we are committed to transparently sharing our efforts with our customers and community. We believe that by working together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
