amni soul eco.001

The notion of biodegradability is rarely brought up in the field of functional fabrics, but this may change as biodegradable synthetics are developed and natural and cellulosic fibre use expands in performance clothing. At a designer level, the need to take into account a product’s entire lifecycle is gaining ground, while at consumer level, growing awareness of environmental issues linked to plastic pollution may also boost demand for clothes that will ultimately disappear.

During this important will be presented Amni® Soul Eco, A new polyamide 6.6 formula, developed by the research efforts of the Rhodia-Solvay group, which enables garments to quickly decompose when they are discarded and left in landfills.

Breddy_EVO_FULGAR_ISPO.001

Breddy's has chosen to employ fabrics made with EVO®, the innovative Bio-based yarn developed by Fulgar after several years of research and study of the highest engineering standards – not only in terms of production but also from an environmental and social point of view.

EVO® by Fulgar is a yarn made from castor oil, deriving from the castor plant that grows spontaneously on poor arid soil and is not edible. A totally renewable resource that does not require high amounts of water nor subtracts arable land for food purposes.

Breddy's commitment to sustainability is a comprehensive one as it also involves the choice of the EASY SET LYCRA® premium elastomer. This synthetic fiber - fundamental to give the pants their controlled elasticity performance for an excellent comfort and fit -  is a green one since it enables to save energy in its processing phase thanks to its low temperature heat-sealing properties.
