♻ Recycled polyamide
Polyamide is a synthetic fiber derived from the petrochemical industry. Like polyester, it pollutes not only during production, but also when washed, as it releases microparticles of plastic into the water.
However, it is used in certain products to ensure fabric strength and longevity.
So we avoid it as much as possible and say a clear “no” to classic polyamide, but on certain products such as socks, knitwear and sportswear, we accept a percentage of recycled polyamide.
🌱 Organic cotton
Organic cotton is definitely one of our favorite fibers. We love cotton for its softness, breathability and naturalness. When it's organic, it avoids the main problems of its production: soil pollution and massive water use. And why? Because when it's treated naturally, the soil is enriched with nutrients and better able to absorb water.
What's more, organic cotton is more resistant than conventional cotton - we're all for it!
♻ Recycled polyester / Recycled nylon
At Rafale, we refuse to use polyester and nylon, because they are fibers derived from the petrochemical industry and pollute during production, as well as releasing micro-particles into the water when washed.
However, its characteristics meet the needs of industry: waterproofing, pleating, transparency, resistance, etc.
We've therefore decided to make an exception for certain recycled polyester and recycled nylon products, so that you can find everything you need at Rafale.
