Why Choose Sustainable Rope Products?

  • Environmentally Friendly Materials:

    Our ropes made from Dyneema® and rPET contribute to a cleaner planet. rPET is produced from recycled plastic bottles, diverting waste from landfills and oceans. Dyneema® uses feedstock from the pulp and timber industries, transforming waste into sustainable, high-performance ropes.

  • Same Performance, Reduced Impact:

    While eco-friendly, our sustainable ropes retain the same performance standards as their conventional counterparts. Dyneema® offers unparalleled strength, while rPET provides durability and versatility, ensuring no compromise on quality.

  • Circular Economy Approach:

    With our "R5 Philosophy" (Reuse, Recycle, Redesign, Reject, Reduce), we ensure that our sustainable focus extends beyond products, aiming to reduce the impact of our ropes throughout their lifecycle.

  • Superior Quality:

    As an official Dyneema® partner, we use the highest quality sustainable yarns from trusted suppliers. Our ropes are durable, long-lasting, and quality-guaranteed, delivering a lower carbon footprint without sacrificing longevity.

rPET (Recycled Polyester):

Made from recycled plastic bottles, approximately seven bottles make up a metre of rPET rope. This reduces plastic waste, resulting in a sustainable product that retains all the strength, flexibility, and durability you expect from English Braids.

Our R5 Philosophy

At English Braids, sustainability is more than just an initiative—it is a promise embedded in everything we do. Our R5 Philosophy drives our commitment to minimise environmental impact while delivering premium rope solutions that meet industry demands.
Our R5 sustainability promise is built around five key principles:

  • Reuse
