Wood to wear? Yes, it\u2019s possible! For its Winter Collection 20\/21, the outdoor specialist Vaude is once again offering textiles made from biodegradable fleece fabrics with wood cellulose.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Women\u2019s Elope Fleece Jacket<\/a>\u2019 for hiking and trekking contains 62% recycled polyester in addition to its wood cellulose fibre. In a statement, Vaude said it was \u201cthe perfect choice for hiking with a clean conscience and when all you want to leave behind is a good impression\u201d. A small contribution toward fighting the growing problem of plastic waste in our environment.<\/p>\n

Back in the autumn of 2017, the\u00a0first biodegradable fleece from wood\u00a0cellulose was presented for Vaude\u2019s\u00a0Green Shape Core Collection<\/a>. The company describes itself as a pioneer in the field of sustainability, and it has featured this wood fiber-based fleece in its program since the Winter Collection 2018\/19 and is driving the development of this revolutionary substance forward.<\/p>\n

Up to now, washing clothing made of synthetic fibres (especially polyester and polyamide) has involved releasing microfibers into the environment. Vaude (@VAUDE_sport) wants to stop this flood of microplastics with the development and promotion of new, sustainably innovative fleece materials.<\/p>\n

Wood for clothing, reducing microplastics in our seas<\/p>\n

The special feature of this biodegradable fleece fabric is its construction. Recycled polyester is used on the smooth outer surface. The inner, napped surface of the knit fabric isn\u2019t made from polyester (as with conventional fleece), but from the 100% wood cellulose fibre lyocell \u2013 and this remains undyed! This fibre is therefore 100% biodegradable \u2013 even in salt water! If microfibres are shed from the napped lining of the fleece during the washing process, they can biodegrade in any environment in about 90 days, without leaving a trace behind and without endangering any living organisms.<\/p>\n

In all of its textiles, the\u00a0Vaude Green Shape label\u00a0stands for environmentally friendly, functional products made from sustainable materials, it claims. About 90% of all Vaude Apparel bear the state-regulated textile seal\u00a0\u201cGr\u00fcner Knopf<\/a>\u201d\u00a0(green button) that was launched in the autumn of 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
