As sportswear grows in popularity, more manufacturers are looking to move away from plastic in favor of more sustainable options.
The Pangaia brand appeared quite recently, but has already managed to attract close attention with active statements about the need to move to responsible consumption and production as soon as possible, to abandon the use of plastic in favor of natural materials. The eco-brand has not yet managed to present many collections to consumers, but everything is created using the latest approaches and technologies, using exclusively natural materials, obtained only by ethical and environmentally friendly methods.
For example, instead of cotton, which is difficult to grow and requires a lot of water, fibers from algae are used, which do not need to be watered at all. And instead of feathers and fluff, which can only be obtained by harming animals, special special materials are used, made from dried plants. Of course, it is still impossible to do without plastic at all, but it is used in minimal quantities and in the company's plans - a complete rejection of this material.
Pangaia used similar approaches when creating its first sports collection. The included items on the 90% are made from biodegradable materials. The fibers are made from a mixture of eucalyptus and seaweed, and the synthetic materials were created not from fossil fuels, but from bio-based oils. It is especially noted that most of the materials involved are destroyed by microorganisms within 5 years, in contrast to plastics, which are destroyed by decades.
According to the representatives of the brand, their main achievement in creating the Pangaia Gym collection is not even the materials themselves, but how they managed to make them work in harmony. Indeed, it is not enough just to create a biodegradable fabric, you also need to learn how to make high-quality and attractive things for consumers.
The result is bright, ultra-soft 80s style clothing for everyday wear. These things are not intended for serious sports, but are quite suitable for a leisurely jog or simple gymnastics. According to Pangaia itself, the new collection is intended for people who are looking for pleasure and joy, and not constant competition and achievement. And it's not just about sports.
