Introducing BIODEGRADABLE* CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES®, a new leave-no-trace textile solution that address the daunting problem of how to deal with polyester at the end of its useful life. Made from throwaway materials, these game-changing fabrics can either be recycled, contributing to the circular economy, or sent to landfill to be biodegraded* at the end of their useful life – solving the problem at its roots.
Available in yarn-dye and piece-dye, nothing is sacrificed in order to achieve the biodegradable benefit - not pattern, color or performance.
55 million pounds of synthetic plastic textiles are sent to landfills every day in the U.S. alone.1
Only 1% of all synthetic and plastic-based textiles are eventually fully recycled. 2

2According the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 15% of textiles are reused/recycled at the first cycle, 7% at the second cycle and 1% at the third cycle. This results in 99% of our textiles eventually being landfilled.
Help keep plastic out of landfills with BIODEGRADABLE* CLEAN IMPACT TEXTILES® polyester fabrics.
Biodegradability* is achieved through the addition of a bio-catalyst that enables anaerobic digestion in landfill at a rate comparable to natural wool.
By providing our partners with a leave-no-trace solution, we contribute to the circular economy – preserving our planet for future generations.
