In the era of sustainable mobility, sustainable agriculture and sustainable products of all kinds, even sportswear becomes sustainable, aware and respectful of the environment.
There are many brands today, in the world, that produce sportswear in an ethical way. The topic is still hot and too young, therefore little known. How are these garments made? Where can they be purchased? But do they really exist?
The answer to all this is yes, there are and now we will find out better what it is.
What does it take to bring these latest generation garments to life? Usually recycled plastic bottles, fishing nets abandoned in the sea and subsequently transformed or even fruit peels are used.
It is clear, therefore, that for athletes who want to take care of the surrounding environment in addition to their body, there are alternatives and they are numerous. Finally, then, this trend can also be talked about in Italy and whoever did it deserves to be thanked, esteemed and respected.
Certainly the production costs, and consequently sales, are a little higher, since since it is a topic that is still too young not everyone is equipped and even the new machinery is equally expensive. The good news, however, is that despite everything there are those who believe in it, those who produce and those who buy.
