OKOBOR™
OKOBOR™ is an exclusive fabric developed by Nanushka, free from the use of animal skin and derivatives.
This fabric is made with a 56% recycled polyester and 44% polyurethane. Recycled polyester is a more environmentally friendly choice than virgin polyester as it reduces both the demand put upon natural resources and the impacts generated by the extraction of non-renewable fossil fuels. Preventing waste from ending up in landfills, recycled materials also contribute to a circular economy.
Polyester is a synthetic fiber that comes from fossil fuels, a non-renewable resource that is extracted from the earth. The production of these fibers is a high-impact process, requiring chemicals and energy, as well as generating high greenhouse gases emissions. If any waste water is not treated properly, hazardous chemicals can be released into the environment. Switching to recycled polyester reduces the need for virgin resource extraction; reduce water, chemical, energy consumption; and lessens GHG emissions.
Most recycled polyester comes from recycled plastic bottles, which are mechanically recycled into chips, melted and extruded to create a yarn that is then knitted or woven into textiles. Even though recycled polyester from plastic waste lessens GHG emissions and reduces natural resources consumption, it has its limitations; in fact it can't be recycled mechanically a second or multiple times as the quality of the fibers gets weaker. Our objective is to support a transition to textile-to-textile recycling via chemical recycling, as to reduce the amount of waste ending up in landfill and preserve the quality of the fiber.
The other growing concern of polyester/recycled polyester fabrics is microfibers shedding, which is the release of fibrous microplastics in marine habitats. To support the reduction of microplastic shedding, we encourage the following actions:
1. Wash Less.
2. Use a colder washing cycle.
3. Use a washing bag to capture microfibers from ending up in water streams, and also to preserve the quality of your clothes.
4. Install a microfiber filter in your washing machine.
