Microplastics are more than just an environmental term—they're a real, global problem. These are tiny plastic particles, smaller than 5 millimeters, that can be found in soil, waterways, and even our bodies.

While packaging or cosmetics are often cited as sources, a large proportion comes from our everyday clothing – especially sportswear made from synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon or elastane.

THE INVISIBLE TRACE

With every wash cycle, thousands of fibers are released from synthetic textiles. These microfibers enter rivers and oceans via wastewater—and ultimately, the food chain.

Research shows that a single polyester jacket can release up to 1,900 microfibers per wash.


How plastic-free sportswear stops microplastics


These materials are not only breathable, skin-friendly, and odor-inhibiting, but they also don't dissolve into microplastics when washed. Plant-based fibers like Natex are biodegradable and leave no waste in the environment.

Avoid microplastics


Each of us can reduce microplastics in our everyday lives – without sacrificing comfort or performance. Here are concrete tips for conscious athletes.

Microplastics start in the washing machine and end up in our bodies.

Those who make conscious clothing choices can actively do something about it. With plastic-free sportswear, you bridge the gap between performance and responsibility – for yourself and our planet.
