What this score doesn't measure
This is a material rating, not a verdict on any specific garment made from ecovero. The axes above are research-backed averages for the fiber itself.
- ×Construction. Yarn staple length, weave / knit structure, stitch count, finishing. Identical fiber, very different garments.
- ×Fabric weight (GSM). A 140 GSM tee and a 220 GSM tee made of the same ecovero feel and last very differently.
- ×Dye + finishing chemicals. Beyond the three we flag (PFAS, formaldehyde, antimony), dozens of textile finishes aren't modelled.

Special Notes
• Sustainable viscose — eco-friendly production
• Same care as standard viscose
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — treat like viscose/rayon but slightly more durable
- • Line dry preferred to maintain shape and reduce energy use; tumble dry low if needed
- • Iron on low heat while slightly damp for best results; use a press cloth on delicate weaves
- • Avoid wringing or twisting — gently press water out; EcoVero shares rayon's wet fragility
- • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents; use eco-friendly detergent to match the fabric's sustainability
- • Store on padded hangers for structured pieces; fold knits and casual items
