Jack Wolfskin claims a first with 100% recycled jackets, including membrane

09/03/2018
German outdoor brand Jack Wolfskin has developed what it has called the world’s first 100% recycled jacket range. Called Texapore Ecosphere, the jackets have a 100% recycled outer material, 100% recycled liner and a 100% recycled membrane.

The outer fabric and lining of the jackets are produced in an upcycling process from post-consumer PET bottles helping to combat the environmental impact of single-use plastics.

Jack Wolfskin believes this is the first time a brand has succeeded in manufacturing a membrane in an environmentally friendly way. It has done this by using recycled post-production remnants, but is still windproof and waterproof to 20,000 millimetres, it also features a breathability rating of 15,000 grammes per square-metre/24h.
