Polygiene®, the global leader in antimicrobial and stay fresh technologies, has run a life cycle assessment showing that washing items of clothing less frequently can reduce environmental impact by one-third. The results of this trial show that by investing in garments treated with Polygiene StayFresh™, consumers can get the following benefits over the span of a year:
SAVE ENERGY Up to 51 kWh
SAVE WATER Up to 3800 liters of water
SAVE TIME Earn back four free days of wasted time spent washing
How the life cycle assessment works
A consumer will typically wear a garment once before washing it. This equates to about 50 washes before the garment reaches the end of its life. However, a t-shirt treated with Polygiene StayFresh means the garment stays fresher for longer. This powerful odor control technology inhibits odor-causing bacteria. Now the owner can confidently skip every second wash without worrying about bad odors from their t-shirt.
One less wash means saving on energy, water, CO2, time, and money - and the t-shirt lasts longer.
Choose Mindful Living
Heavy on both energy and resources, sport and fast fashion has a substantial environmental impact.
"Wearing garments treated with Polygiene StayFresh™ means less washing, more sustainable clothing, and longer-lasting, consumer-friendly products that are kind to the planet too," shares
