Silica-based technology wins sustainability award for Polygiene

05/07/2019
Industry association the Scandinavian Outdoor Group has named Polygiene as the winner of its sustainability award for 2019 for its Odor Crunch technology.

This product uses silica, a plentiful natural resource, to endow garments with odour control functionality, allowing consumers to wear items for longer before washing them, thereby reducing the consumption of water and energy required over the lifetime of the garment.

Garments that the Scandinavian Outdoor Group assessed for the award came from Intersport; the sports retail group will launch Odor Crunch in spring 2020 as part of its Pro Touch running collection.
