Composition

65% Cotton In Conversion, 35% Recycled Polyester

Good quality, eco-friendly

Solid fabric with strong environmental credentials. Organic Cotton (65%) is doing the heavy lifting. This is a smart buy.

🔬

Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.

🌍

This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.

⚠️

Synthetic fabrics can contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. Studies have found BPA transferring to skin through sweat contact.
