Materials

Recycled polyamide

Polyamide, also called nylon, is a synthetic material made from petroleum. Polyamide is a strong fabric that does not tear or wrinkle easily. It is light, elastic, easy to fold and dries quickly. A disadvantage of polyamide is that it does not absorb moisture well. Unfortunately, polyamide is not biodegradable, but it is recyclable. If the product is used and maintained properly, it will last longer, making the product sustainable in the long term. This makes recycled polyamide a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Recycled polyester

Polyester is a synthetic material made from petroleum. It is a durable, smooth fabric that feels soft. In addition, it is lightweight, does not need to be ironed and dries quickly. Unfortunately, polyester is not biodegradable, but it is recyclable. If the product is used and maintained properly, it will last longer, making the product sustainable in the long term. This makes recycled polyester a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative.

Elastane

Elastane is a synthetic fiber that is exceptionally elastic. Its great stretch, but at the same time its strength, distinguishes it from other synthetic fabrics. For example, it is stronger and more durable than rubber, but also much lighter. Elastane is very lightweight and is therefore very suitable when doing activities. Elastane also offers a lot of room to move because it is so elastic, without losing the fit.

Technologies

BlueSign product

The BlueSign label indicates that no harmful substances have been used in the production process. Companies with a BlueSign label are required to draw up a sustainability plan with attention to water consumption, energy consumption and waste management. BlueSign also has guidelines for safe and healthy working conditions, but these are not specifically monitored.

TEXADRI

TEXADRI materials quickly absorb sweat, wick it away from the skin and spread it over a large surface area, effectively accelerating evaporation.

The moisture can therefore be better absorbed and transported and the fabric dries faster, so that as little moisture as possible forms on the skin.

The basis for these incredibly breathable fabrics are materials that store very little moisture through their fibers and quickly release this to the next layer or to the ambient air due to their fiber structure.
