Welcome to Apana®, your source for high-quality, comfortable activewear and accessories designed to empower you to move freely and live actively.

Our Story

Apana® was founded in 2020 by a group of active, health-conscious individuals who saw a need for athletic apparel that prioritizes both performance and sustainability. As avid fitness enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers, we were frustrated by the lack of eco-friendly activewear options that could keep up with our lifestyles.

After months of research and product testing, we set out to create our own line of top-notch activewear and gear made responsibly from recycled materials. Our goal was simple – to produce stylish, durable products that help athletes reach new heights while also minimizing environmental impact.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, our dedicated team of designers, garment technicians, and sustainability experts collaborate to continually innovate our fabrics, fits, and features. We’re excited to see our efforts helping to drive positive change in the activewear industry.

Eco-Friendly Materials

From recycled polyester to organic cotton, we carefully select fabrics that are gentle on the planet without sacrificing performance. Some of the eco-friendly materials we use include:

  • Recycled Polyester – Produced from recycled plastic bottles and other plastics, like fishing nets, recycled polyester diverts waste while creating a durable, quick-drying fabric. We use it to make over 75% of our products.
  • Organic Cotton – Grown without pesticides or other harmful chemicals, organic cotton is breathable, soft, and hypoallergenic. We use it to craft ultra-comfortable activewear basics.
  • TENCELTM Lyocell – Sustainably sourced wood pulp is transformed into silky-soft TENCELTM, a fiber known for its breathability and moisture management. It’s featured in select Apana® styles.
  • RPET Mesh – Mesh fabric made from recycled plastic bottles allows enhanced ventilation in our hoodies, shirts, shorts, and other styles requiring extra breathability.
  • Natural Dyes – Pigments derived from plants, like indigo, are used to color some of our fabrics instead of synthetic dyes, reducing environmental toxicity.

Our Commitment

Activewear should inspire and empower – not pollute the planet. That’s why sustainability is at the core of the Apana® brand.

Our commitment to people and the planet is reflected in our:

  • Local manufacturing reducing carbon emissions
  • Fair labor practices ensuring safe, ethical working conditions
  • Eco-friendly materials diverting waste from landfills
  • Simple, minimalist packaging avoiding plastics and excess waste
  • Donations to environmental nonprofits protecting outdoor spaces
  • Ongoing sustainability innovations to lessen our environmental impact

As a climate neutral certified brand, we offset 100% of our carbon emissions from manufacturing and fulfillment. We’re dedicated to measuring and reducing our footprint each year to limit our contribution to climate change.

We also partner with various environmental organizations to support reforestation initiatives, habitat restoration, and clean-up efforts worldwide. It’s our way of giving back to the planet that inspires our active lifestyles.

Join The Movement

At Apana®, we believe that small steps lead to big change. Though no single brand can solve the apparel industry’s sustainability challenges alone, we’re committed to doing our part.

We invite you to join us on this journey toward eco-friendly, ethical activewear. Together, we can transform wardrobes and mindsets to care for our shared planet while deepening our love of sport and nature.

Every purchase supports our mission to design exceptional gear that empowers purposeful movement – all while tread lightly on the trails, fields, mountains, and waters we play in.
