It is hard to imagine our life without clothes. Unfortunately, like other industries, the textile industry contributes to the pollution of our planet. The average European consumes 26 kg of textiles a year, but only 7 kg of this is produced in Europe.
We do not have precise information on the conditions and environmental impact of the remaining 19 kg. However, photographs documenting Asian production show that environmental impacts are not a priority. We have a perfect overview of textile production in Europe and especially here at Sensor.
It was not only for these reasons that we chose Merino wool many years ago.
But in functional clothing, synthetic materials are unreplaceable. However, we can fundamentally reduce the amount of oil that is used for each new T-shirt. That's why we use as much raw material as possible from PET recyclate. On average, four PET bottles are used to produce one T-shirt. We are therefore switching to Coolmax EcoMade fibre for all Coolmax lines. The change also affects other lines, which you can recognise by the recycling logo. The underwear retains the same benefits as before, but is more environmentally friendly.
