ECODESIGN
WHAT IS ECO-DESIGN?
Eco-design consists of incorporating a product's
environmental impact into its design from the
very beginning, taking into account the product's
entire life cycle.
Incorporating environmental impa ct means
minimizing the impact on the environment of our
products, starting with their design.
A product that is designed (or redesigned) within
an environmentally-conscious framework is a
product that performs the same functions while
also providing environmental benefits.
In addition to offering you technical sports
products, our design teams are committed to
ensuring that by 2026, 100% of our products
will be designed with a more environmentally
friendly approach.

Bi-ton
The Bi-ton is a technology that lets you dye one out of two threads. Dyeing has an environmental impact linked to water (consumption & pollution). There are dyes that are respectful of the environment.
Dyeing textiles
Dyeing textiles requires lots of water but also leads to lots of water waste generated in dyeing vats. To reduce this environmental impact, we choose solution dyeing, which integrates colour pigments when manufacturing the thread.
Recycled Cotton
The use of recycled cotton is the best solution because it does not require the production of new cotton fibres. However, this is only possible up to a maximum of 30 to 40%, because the recycled fibres are shorter and must be combined with new cotton.
Recycled polyester
By recycling [plastic bottles or part of recycled textiles] to produce our polyester, we are reducing the use of oil-based resources whilst preserving the fabric's breathability features when doing sport.
