"It is made by connecting multiple thin layers using a needle-punching process that entangles them to create a textile"
Kind of cool, but I wanted to know what it's made of. All the announcement articles lift language from the ad copy and are totally uncurious about the textile. I then discovered, after extensive digging, buried in the additional information on the products' store pages themselves and not advertised on a single other page, that it's just 100% polyester.
Boo. At least it's recycled, I guess.
I've idly followed the work of HKRITA on textile recycling and it's starting to sound pretty promising. I wonder if this is where the plastic Nike is using came from, or whether they're using plastic from cheaper recycling waste streams.
