Recycled does not have to mean compromised. Here is how a used bottle becomes a performance tee, and where the trade-offs really are.
From bottle to yarn
Bottles are sorted, washed, shredded into flakes and melted into chips. Those chips are spun into yarn on the same equipment as virgin polyester.
How it performs
In our wear testing, recycled knits matched virgin fabrics for wicking and held their shape after fifty washes.
How to care for it
Wash cold, skip the softener and line dry. It saves energy and keeps the wicking finish working for longer.
Good to see the numbers behind the Eco Collection, not just the marketing.
