PANGAIA, the materials science company at the intersection of science, purpose, and design, introduces its most advanced plant-based activewear to date: 365 Seamless Activewear. The collection merges biotechnology and natural innovation in a next-generation material system that combines 100% bio-based EVO\u00ae Nylon, by Fulgar from plant and renewable source, with Hyosung\u2019s regenTM<\/sup> BIO Max elastane, a pioneering stretch fibre made with a polymer composed of 98% renewable resources, including corn-based feedstock. Together, these innovations offer a high-performance alternative to fossil fuel-based synthetics traditionally used in activewear. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PANGAIA is the first brand globally to incorporate regen\u2122 BIO Max elastane into a commercial activewear range. Developed by Hyosung to meet performance standards while reducing reliance on non-renewable resources, the fibre replaces nearly all fossil-fuel inputs while maintaining elasticity, recovery, and durability. Backed by third-party verified data and independent Life Cycle Assessments, regen\u2122 BIO Max elastane delivers a 27% lower carbon footprint and 82% less ozone depletion than conventional spandex, marking a meaningful shift towards circular, regenerative materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of the collection, EVO\u00ae Nylon by Fulgar, is made using renewable raw materials, including castor beans and industrial corn. Engineered for high performance, it is lightweight, thermoregulating, breathable, and fast-drying. With a lower weight than polyester and faster drying performance than traditional nylon, EVO\u00ae offers peak comfort and functionality. It is naturally non-toxic and safe for prolonged skin contact. Each garment is finished with PPRMINT\u2122, PANGAIA\u2019s proprietary odour-control treatment derived from natural peppermint oil. This broad-spectrum antimicrobial technology neutralises odour-causing bacteria, extending the freshness of each piece between washes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a category dominated by fossil fuel-based synthetics, 365 Seamless Activewear offers a next-generation alternative made from renewable resources. While conventional performance wear relies heavily on virgin polyester, nylon, and elastane, this collection is built using bio-based fibres designed to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The result is high-performance activewear made with materials that are non-toxic and powered by nature, without compromising on stretch, breathability, or comfort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The launch includes five minimal, foundational styles with seamless construction that contours to the body, offering a sculpted, second-skin fit. Crafted from breathable, fast-drying materials and treated with PPRMINT to ensure lasting freshness, comfort, and confidence, demonstrating that high-performance doesn\u2019t have to come from fossil-based plastics. Each piece is offered in Black, Gaia Blue, and Dewy Rose, three elemental hues that evoke the purity of earth, sky, and bloom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By utilising renewable, bio-based materials, PANGAIA harnesses the power of nature to offer a solution that\u2019s better for you and better for the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n
