ECO-I Summary LJMU
Lola Starr has undertaken a thorough analysis of its supply chain carbon footprint in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University, laying a solid foundation for its future environmental strategies. The comprehensive assessment, facilitated by ECO-I-NW, has provided valuable insights and recommendations aimed at reducing the company’s carbon footprint.
“As the owner of the brand, sustainability is always at the forefront of my priorities. I am dedicated to minimising our environmental footprint as much as possible. My primary goal is to ensure that our products stand the test of time, both in terms of style and quality, thus extending their lifespan as much as possible.Every time we make something it has a negative impact on the planet, Therefore, it’s imperative that the products we create are truly worth it. For us, it’s not about constantly chasing trends or introducing new items frequently. Instead, our focus is on crafting the very best products that you’ll want to wear often and cherish for a long time. It’s about quality over quantity, adhering to the philosophy of “less, but better.” This approach allows us to create a positive impact".
VERSATILITY
Our pieces are designed to move seamlessly with you, from training sessions to everyday life.
Each design is created with versatility in mind, combining performance-led fabrics with elevated, minimal styling. This means your activewear isn’t limited to the gym, it transitions effortlessly into coffee mornings, school runs, travel days and everything in between.
We focus on timeless colours, considered silhouettes and mix-and-match pieces that work across seasons and collections. The result is a wardrobe that feels effortless, functional and built to last.
RECYCLED PACKAGING

RECYCLED FABRICS
We use premium recycled performance fabrics, including ECONYL® regenerated nylon, chosen not only for their reduced environmental impact, but for their technical performance.
ECONYL® is created from regenerated waste materials, yet delivers the same strength, stretch and durability as virgin nylon.

All of our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning they are free from harmful chemicals and safe against the skin, soft, comfortable and designed for all-day wear.
By combining advanced technical fabrics with responsible production methods, including reduced water usage and non-toxic processes, we create activewear that performs at a high level while being more considered in its impact.
