With a mission to find problem-solving materials that promote biodiversity, remove petro-chemicals, and support a climate-positive future, PANGAIA has launched a range of plant-based activewear, Activewear 3.0.
Activewear 3.0 follows in suit with the brand’s material philosophy of “high-tech naturalism,” which involves using the abundance of nature augmented by high-tech processes and sustainable chemistries to expand the functionality of its textiles.
The third iteration of PANGAIA’s activewear line, which includes four key styles in three colorways, is the brand’s most bio-based offering to date. It is made using 99.99 percent plant-based EVO Nylon and 30 percent plant-based creora elastane.
Hyosung’s creora elastane is the first to market with a 30 percent biobased content that is sourced from industrial corn, harvested in the United States, and PANGAIA is the first brand to introduce the new stretch fiber in an activewear range. The yarn is SGS certified guaranteeing that it is made with plant-based materials and produced in an eco-friendly environment. According to a recent third-party LCA, the manufacture of creora bio-based elastane reduces its carbon footprint by 23 percent as compared to the production of regular elastane.
The evolution of PANGAIA’s activewear includes an updated look and feel with seamless shapes offering comfort and stretch. Additionally, each garment is treated with the brand’s PPRMINTTM finish so garments stay fresh for longer.
The latest range includes four styles – bra, cropped top, shorts, and leggings – in black, foliage green, and cerulean blue. PANGAIA’s latest activewear collection is available online at PANGAIA.com.
