Men's short-sleeved polo shirt in jersey

Characteristics of the T-Shirt Made with Respectlife's Antibacterial Textile:

• Material Composition:

  • 100% mono-material polypropylene (PP), ensuring full recyclability.

  • Ultra-fine yarns (<0.1mm) for a soft, lightweight feel.

  • Elasticity achieved without elastomers, enhancing comfort and durability.

• Sustainability Features:

  • Water Efficiency: Only 0.6 liters of water used per kg of fabric (vs. 10,000 liters/kg for cotton).

  • Zero-Water Dyeing: Eliminates toxic dye discharge, preventing 20% of textile-related water pollution.

  • Low Carbon Footprint: 2.06 Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to 8.75 GWP for polyamide.

  • 100% Recyclable: Easily converted into new PP products, supporting circular economy goals.

  • Durability: Withstands over 200 industrial wash cycles, reducing textile waste.

• Health & Hygiene Benefits:

  • Biocide-Free Antibacterial Protection: Prevents infections (e.g., HAIs) without contributing to antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

  • Fiber-Free Design: Releases no dust or particles, ensuring superior hygiene.

  • Hypoallergenic & Skin-Safe: Ideal for sensitive skin and allergy-prone users.

  • Breathable and moisture-wicking, suitable for active use.

  • Seamless construction reduces irritation and production waste.

  • Dimensional stability maintained even after repeated cold washes.

• Economic & Practical Advantages:

  • Cost Savings: Compatible with eco-detergent (30% lower laundry costs due to cold-water washing and no ironing).

  • Zero-Defect Manufacturing: Ensures consistent quality and longevity.

  • Compliance: Meets ISO 20743 standards for antibacterial efficacy.

• Environmental Impact:

  • Reduces 16kg/year of textile waste per EU citizen through recyclability.

  • Supports SDGs 3 (Health), 6 (Clean Water), 9 (Industry Innovation), and 12 (Responsible Consumption).
