"Join our journey in making sportswear truly circular."
The love of exploring nature is seriously damaging the planet. 300 million square meters of used waterproof and breathable textiles and another 75 million square meters of offcuts end up in landfills or incineration every year. Due to their layered construction of various polymers, almost all of this waste is non-recyclable. Amphitex™ is a sustainable, 100% recyclable alternative to conventional waterproof breathable textiles (WBTs) commonly used in the outdoor industry.
WBTs are multi-layer fabrics: a water-repellent coated face fabric, a waterproof breathable membrane and a moisture-regulating fabric. These layers, often made of different polymers, are bonded together and therefore cannot be separated for recycling, but must be disposed of at the end of their life either in landfills or incineration. All layers of Amphitex™ are made from the same polymer and do not require a chemical DWR coating to be water repellent, as it is naturally superhydrophobic. This creates an innovative and recyclable mono-material solution.
