EcoPaXX is a bio-based plastic. Normally, plastics are made from petroleum. In order to save this finite fossil resource, we have been looking for an alternative made from a renewable raw material. 70% of EcoPaXX is made from castor oil. The hardy castor oil plant, also known as palm of Christ, grows without additional irrigation on barren soil that would be unsuitable for growing food. We use the oil, which is pressed from the plant’s beans, to make robust polyamide fibres for our clothing as well as for making recyclable zip fasteners, buttons and hooks.

This product includes robust, lightweight and quick-drying polyamide yarn made from production surpluses and cutting room scraps otherwise destined for the landfill. These materials are collected, processed and returned into the production cycle which maximizes the utilization of valuable resources in material production and minimizes the amount of new raw materials used for your product. Find out more about Polyamide.

TENCEL® is a fiber made 100% from a renewable resource – wood cellulose. The fiber production itself is extremely ecofriendly due to a closed loop system and it is also biodegradable. Many different varieties of fabric can be made from this bio-based fiber.  As the first outdoor outfitter, we have developed it into a soft and cozy fleece material. Microfibers, which can be shed during the washing process and end up into the global water cycle, can break down completely in sea water – helping us to prevent this environmental risk for marine life. TENCEL® features excellent moisture management and feels soft and silky against the skin. Find out more about TENCEL®.

This product includes wood fiber, a fiber that is made from 100% FSC-certified wood. Wood fibers are moisture-regulating and pleasantly soft to the touch. We were the first outdoor outfitter to develop a cozy fleece material from this material. And the best thing about it: Microfibers that can be shed during the washing process and enter the global water cycle are fully biodegradable in seawater. This helps us to prevent microplastics from entering the oceans and contributes to environmental protection as well as the protection of marine life.
