Dale of Norway aim to generate very little waste fabric, only 1-2%, as opposed to cut & sew where more than 20% waste fabric is common. Not only does this substantially reduce the consumption of raw materials, but it also leads to a corresponding reduction in wool and yarn to be processed and transported. The Dale factory has been powered by local Bergsdal river for over 140 years.

Wool is washed on lower temperatures or even hand washed, saving laundry detergent and energy.
