Polyester & Other Synthetics
1 Mar 2023
Author: Sportscraft Marketing
Polyester and other manufactured synthetic fibres such as nylon and elastane are derived from petroleum. As the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum is a major contributor to climate change, we are working towards minimising our use of synthetic materials and limit it to garment functionality or performance purpose, and where possible, try to use recycled synthetics and man-made cellulosics as responsible alternatives.
