♻ Recycled polyamide

Polyamide is a synthetic fiber derived from the petrochemical industry. Like polyester, it pollutes not only during production, but also when washed, as it releases microparticles of plastic into the water.
However, it is used in certain products to ensure fabric strength and longevity.
So we avoid it as much as possible and say a clear “no” to classic polyamide, but on certain products such as socks, knitwear and sportswear, we accept a percentage of recycled polyamide.

🪢 Elastane / Spandex / Lycra

Elastane is derived from the petrochemical industry and, like other synthetic fibers, pollutes during manufacture and use by releasing micro-particles of plastic.
What's more, a material made from a blend of fibers with a high percentage of elastane is more difficult to recycle: elastane tends to stretch during mechanical processing, which puts a strain on machines.
At Rafale, we initially wanted to ban it from our selection. But we quickly realized that it was necessary in certain products, such as swimwear and leggings. Needless to say, non-elastic leggings would greatly impair our athletic performance.
So we decided to limit ourselves to products containing less than 15% elastane.
