Sustainability

As nature lovers, we immediately wanted to rely on partners who had key characteristics from an environmental and quality point of view:

Reduced environmental impact

Recycling of material

Product quality and durability

Experience in the textile and outdoor world.

Challengesailcloth have been our main partners for a year, using their fabrics for most of our products.

Each meter saves half a kilo of CO2 compared to nylon or polyester fabric.

Contains no TPU , PVC , DWR or other harmful coatings. The resulting CO2 emissions are:

- 50% lower than nylon

- 38% lower than polyester film, comparable to organic cotton.

The 45° blue recycled yarn improves orientation and reduces waste by approximately 10% .

The production system eliminates drying ovens, hot chambers for polymerization and high energy consumption.

It is a certified recycled fabric. The adhesive system does not contain volatile organic compounds that pollute the air, land or sea
