Natural fibres beat synthetics in new fabric

23/05/2006

Micro Equity Group Associates, Inc. (MEGA) has released EckoTech, an all natural fibre fabric with anti-odour, antibacterial, wicking and breathing properties that are said to be superior to synthetics. Eckotech is currently being used in sweaters and other knitted sporting garments, but the company plans to expand production to support fashion markets in the near future.

Made in the US from bamboo, silk, and other natural materials, EckoTech is antibacterial, and contains a naturally-occurring, organic deodorant substance which is reported to survive many washes.
