The main material MOOV360 uses to produce their clothing is ECONYL. This nylon yarn is made from recycled fishing nets and other industrial waste. This material is usually combined with a small percentage of elastane to ensure good elasticity and strength of the garments.
The garments have the Oeko-Tex certificate. This means there are no harmful substances in the final product. In addition, MOOV360 packs their clothing in envelopes made from recycled paper to avoid waste.
Unfortunately, like all non-natural fabrics, ECONYL does release microplastics when worn and washed. These tiny microplastics eventually end up back in the ocean. Want to prevent microplastics from entering the ocean? Then use a GuppyFriend bag when washing your MOOV360 sportswear.
MOOV360 is committed to continue researching better and natural alternatives for their collections. Right now, however, ECONYL is the best choice for the endurance sportswear MOOV360 makes.
Fortunately, MOOV360 does make great efforts to keep the ocean clean. The brand is involved in cleaning the oceans and preserving marine wildlife by giving 1% of sales to Healthy Seas.
