Nikwax, renowned for its eco-conscious waterproofing and gear care solutions, has unveiled its 2025 Sustainability Report, marking a significant stride toward its environmental commitments.
The brand reported an 11% reduction in total carbon emissions this year, bolstered by increased adoption of renewable energy sources and a reformulation of its best-selling product—Down Wash. The upgraded Down Wash offers a 40% lower carbon footprint, superior cleaning power, and improved performance in restoring water repellency and insulation in down-filled items.
“We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, but we’re even more excited about what lies ahead,” said Brian Davidson, CEO of Nikwax. “Our Down Wash reformulation is a prime example of how high-performance can align with environmental care.”
A trailblazer in sustainable innovation since 1977, Nikwax continues its PFAS-free, aerosol-free legacy, while collaborating with organizations like the European Outdoor Group, The Conservation Alliance, and World Land Trust.
With its 2040 net-zero goal on track, Nikwax’s latest report underscores that sustainability and performance can go hand-in-hand.
