Planet
The fabric and filling of this jacket are all made with 100% recycled polyester. This recycled polyester is made from recycled PET which is sourced from plastic bottles or fabric scraps. Using recycled materials reduces waste sent to landfill and avoids the need for virgin resources to be consumed.
Ecoalf waterproof fabrics are fluorocarbon (PFC) free. Fluorocarbons are long chain chemicals that effectively repel water but can slowly leach into the environment where they take a very long time to break down.
Areas for development
It would be great to see Ecoalf collaborate with an organisation like the Fair Wear Foundation to advance the complex topic of a real living wage for garment workers.
