Planet
This jacket is made with recycled nylon. Ecoalf share that the manufacturing process of recycled nylon produces 28% less CO2 than conventional nylon. Recycling nylon also keeps this slow to break down material out of landfills.
Ecoalf waterproof fabrics are fluorocarbon (PFC) free. Fluorocarbons are long chain chemicals that effectively repel water but can slowly leach into the environment where they take a very long time to break down.
Areas for development
It would be great to see Ecoalf collaborate with an organisation like the Fair Wear Foundation to advance the complex topic of a real living wage for garment workers.
