Renewable and recycled content from Eastman in Patagonia T-shirts
The maker of Naia fibres and yarns, Eastman, has completed a project with Patagonia to make a limited run of T-shirts for the clothing brand’s workwear line. The products are made with Naia Renew ES, a fibre made from recycled and renewable content.
Recycled waste material makes up 40% of the content, renewable wood pulp 40% and recycled cellulose 20%.
“Patagonia chooses its fibres carefully and responsibly,” said Ruth Farrell, Eastman textiles general manager. “The collaboration we’ve enjoyed has been instrumental in developing materials that appeal to its customers, environmentally conscientious people who work and play hard. Patagonia customers want garments that reflect who they are and what they care about without compromise on comfort and quality.”
