The Good: Capilene® 3 polyester employs 64% recycled content without sacrificing performance or comfort - and it's 100% recyclable. We've also found a natural way to control odor without reliance on metals or antimicrobials (to which bacteria develop resistance).

The Bad: To achieve the performance we need - and durability, an important attribute for low environmental impact - we still use 36% virgin polyester.

What We Think: We're happy to make an important product with 64% recycled content - and 100% recyclable as well. Next step: 100% recycled content, without loss of durability.
