Upcycled products with ECONYL® yarn, mulesing-free wool and PFC-free bio technologies based on renewable raw materials, or bio foam, are just some of the ecological highlights of the Schoeller 2019 Summer Collection, developed and produced among the mountains of Switzerland. Polychrome effects lend exciting multicolors with richly-contrasting reverses and a new light membrane ensure an optimum body climate both for sports and in the city.
REGENERATED ECONYL® YARN Textiles with ECONYL® yarn made by Schoeller are genuinely upcycled products produced from regenerated waste material. The ECONYL® regeneration system reduces global waste by reclaiming reusable material from tips and oceans and returning it to the production cycle. The resulting yarn is indistinguishable from conventional yarn in terms of quality and appearance. The Schoeller ECONYL® fabric family encompasses a complete package with diverse exciting qualities such as ultra-light, bi-elastic schoeller®-dynamic (e.g. for windbreaker), very soft, fine schoeller®-dryskin (e.g. for high-tech sports) and a variety of light schoeller®-WB-400 weights.
