Have you ever felt sorry for a “retired” waterproof jacket? It's been with you through thick and thin, but eventually it has to be discarded due to wear and tear or aging. But did you know? These seemingly useless used jackets actually have the potential to be reborn! Today, we're going to talk about the environmental fate of used waterproof jackets, and what we can do for the sustainability of the planet.
Waterproof fabric recycling problems:
The core function of waterproof jacket is inseparable from the special coating and composite fabrics, but these technology has also become a difficult recycling:
Multi-layer structure is difficult to separate: waterproof jackets are usually composed of an outer fabric, a waterproof membrane and an inner liner, which is difficult to disassemble and dispose of;
Chemical coatings are difficult to degrade: traditional waterproofing coatings contain chemicals such as fluoride, which may have a long-term impact on the environment;
High recycling costs: The investment in specialized recycling equipment and technology is huge, and many brands are discouraged.
Because of this, a large number of used waterproof jackets end up in landfills or incinerated, becoming a burden on the environment.
As a brand specializing in outdoor sports equipment, we understand the importance of environmental responsibility. For this reason, we have incorporated a number of environmental innovations into our product development and recycling system.
Measure we have taken:
Recycled Nylon Fabrics
We use recycled nylon (Recycled Nylon) as the main material for some of our products, which not only has excellent performance, but also reduces our dependence on petroleum resources.
Fluoride-Free Waterproofing Formula (PFC-Free)
Fluoride in traditional waterproofing coatings can be harmful to the environment and human health. We have fully upgraded to PFC-Free waterproofing formula, which guarantees waterproof performance while minimizing the ecological impact.
Conclusion: Let every jacket have a “second life”
Environmental protection is not one person's business, but everyone's responsibility. We invite you to join the “Jacket Rebirth Program” to contribute to the sustainable development of the earth and become a witness of environmental protection actions.
The mission of waterproof jackets is not only to protect you, but also to protect our common home. Through technological innovation and user participation, we believe that used jackets can be revitalized and become part of the environmental protection action. Let's work together to reduce the burden for the earth and add points for the future!
