  • Recycled-fiber claim without explicit certification (GRS, RCS). Chain-of-custody for recycled materials is hard to verify without one.

Why this grade?

This product scored 67/100 based on its composition of 100% Recycled Nylon.

C (55-69): Average — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.

Composition

100% Recycled Nylon

Average quality, high synthetic content

Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.

⚠️

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

🌍

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

♻️

Recycled synthetic reduces virgin plastic use, but still sheds microfibers. Better than new plastic, but natural is best.
