All the layers within Amphitex™ are being developed from the same source material, to create an innovative mono-material waterproof, making it very easy to recycle, unlike most on the market. The Amphidry™ Yarn in the face fabric is inherently superhydrophic and therefore requires no additional DWR chemical coating to make it water repellent.

Waterproof breathable textiles are made from a multi-layer fabric, comprising of a durable water-repellent (DWR) coated face fabric, a waterproof breathable membrane, and a lining fabric. These layers are bonded together to form the final textile and as a result cannot be separated for recycling and are facing either landfill or incineration at end-of-life. Therefore Amphitext is needed to solve that challenge.

The mono-material WBT is designed to be 100% recyclable and PFC-free. In addition, we are also exploring zero waste manufacturing processes.
