Fabric Layers
The current outdoor gear industry relies on plastics and PFC chemicals.
Emission Pollution
During production, plastics create excess industrial waste and produce harmful emissions.
Microplastics
Microplastics are shed through wear and washing which pollutes air and waterways. Due to their synthetic makup, microplastics take to 200 years to biodegrade.
Perfluorinated Carbons (PFCs)
PFCs are used as water repellent additives within fabrics, or treatment for water repellent and flame retardant finishes. Their release during manufacturing, wear, and washing creates bioaccumulation leading to long lasting harmful health conditons and diseases.
