Recycled polyester

One variant of the new sustainable products is made from 40% recycled polyester.

Recycled polyester is made from e.g. recycled plastic bottles and other plastic waste, which has been collected and broken down into granulate and spun into new threads. These threads are used to produce textiles. This converts waste into a new resource, which can then be used for producing textiles without impacting the environment.

Products with polyester have certain benefits compared to pure cotton products

• The fabric dries faster, and is thus more comfortable to wear
• The fabric has a higher colour fastness, also when subjected to sweat and sun
• The fabric retains its shape and doesn't have as great a tendency to shrink
• The fabric has a high wear resistance and lasts longer overall

Organic cotton

Both variants of MASCOT's sustainable products contain organic cotton. Organic cotton is grown without the use of pesticides and other harmful substances, and emits up to 94% less greenhouse gasses than production of conventional cotton.

Organic cotton is made from seeds, which are not genetically modified, and the weeds from cotton fields are removed manually. This safeguards both the farmland and the farmers who grow the cotton. As a top made from organic cotton doesn't contain any harmful substances, it is also better for the skin.

Particular advantages of choosing products in organic cotton:

• It is grown without the use of pesticides and other harmful substances.
• It is made from seeds, which are not genetically modified.
• It emits up to 94% less greenhouse gasses than production of conventional cotton.
