The brand consciously chooses European production. From the fiber sourcing to the assembly of the garments, everything is done in Europe. As a result, the entire production falls under strict European legislation and increases the chances of ethical working conditions.
In addition to ecological commitments, MOOV360 also wants to care for their fellow man. Therefore, they also donate one percent of their sales to charity projects such as Run for Hope, an organization that supports physical therapy for children with cancer.
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.
MOOV360’s sportswear is primarily made from recycled materials that meet the Global Recycling Standard. Therefore, the brand fits into the circular economy.
However, the fabric used by the brand consists of a mix of Econyl and elastane. This makes the fabric difficult to recycle back into a new thread at the end of its life cycle.
Fortunately, the brand does have solutions for this.
Their waste material is made into convenient and unique sports bags.
If you no longer wear your MOOV360 garment, you can return it. You will receive a 10% discount on your next order and your discarded garment will be transformed into sports accessories. This way, no material is wasted!
All of MOOV360’s products are produced entirely in Europe. The collection of fishing nets for the production of ECONYL takes place in Slovenia. Textile production and garment assembly take place in Italy and finishing (such as labeling) takes place in Belgium. The total distance between the collected fishing nets and the final product sent to Belgium is 1,750 kilometers.
The fabrics do not contain any animal products and are therefore vegan. By using Econyl the brand is also indirectly helping marine life by clearing up ocean waste.
MOOV360’s products are designed to withstand intense sports activities over the years. The garments have a minimalist design that makes them timeless.
The brand is transparent through the storytelling on its website; and has also provided COSH! with proofs of their associated certifications.
