Champion announced its newest innovation: Eco Future Reverse Weave with CiCLO® technology, a patented and science-based solution that allows synthetic textiles to behave more like natural fibers when they enter the environment. Over 60% of today’s textiles are made with plastic-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon, which remain indefinitely in the environment because they are not inherently biodegradable. By incorporating CiCLO® technology, the Eco Future Reverse Weave reduces plastic textile fibers in the environment by giving polyester an eventual expiration date. The collection also features dyes with ingredients derived from nature, including pomegranate, annatto fruit and terminalia chebula fruit. The new collection lets fans feel even better about purchasing their favorite hoodie knowing they can reduce microplastic pollution caused by the shedding of synthetic textiles. The Eco Future Reverse Weave with CiCLO® includes crewnecks and joggers. The collection will be available in-store and on the Champion website beginning Dec. 6. HanesBrands is working towards using 100% sustainable cotton and 100% recycled/biodegradable polyester in all products.
