SilverTech 2.0
Made from recycled materials. Longer lasting underwear you can wash less - saving water, time & $.
Two-thirds of the environmental impact of our clothing is actually created in the consumer phase. This project was conceptualised to bring sustainability at all levels.
SilverTech 2.0 combines the latest technology in sustainable fabrics, knitting techniques & odour control. It is a collection of underwear made from 100% recycled materials and treated with Polygiene® for odour control - meaning fewer laundry days. Polygiene® is a safe, bluesign® approved treatment made from recycled silver waste. The entire collection also uses seamless knitting technology - an innovative way to provide greater comfort & a more durable garment that won't end up in the landfill after a few months. The t-shirts & boxers are made from mechanically recycled nylon - a Class A fibre that uses 90% less water and creates 80% less CO2 emissions than conventional nylon. Nylon is also a more durable, breathable, heat-regulating fabric that provides better comfort during everyday activities or tough workouts.
