Recycled and durable water repellent jackets by Gore fabrics – GORE-TEX 2-Layer jackets

At the outdoor show, Gore fabrics launched GORE-TEX 2-Layer jackets which utilize a durable water repellent treatment (DWR) free of PFCs environmental concern while maintaining Gore´s promise of GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™. The jackets are manufactured by Berghaus, Haglöfs, Marmot and several other customers. Also, the jackets are manufactured from recycled materials using face textiles which helps reduce plastic waste. Gore’s recycled nylon is currently sourced from pre-consumer waste while its recycled polyester stems from used PET bottles.

Mr Bernhard Kiehl, Gore Fabrics´ Sustainability Leader said, “The GORE-TEX jackets shown at our booth have a PFCEC free DWR treatment and face-textiles made from recycled materials. They represent our strong intent to offer environmentally improved products. The positive feedback we have received from customers and consumers on our innovations motivates us to work even harder on developing further advanced material solutions. We continue our efforts to deliver fit-for-use products that provide the best possible combination of high performance, durability and a low environmental footprint.”

Another upcoming innovation is the solution dyes face textiles which is a yarn dyeing technology that saves up to 60% water consumption and reduces CO2 emissions.

Gore Fabrics has also developed an innovative textile backer, combining the advantages of solution dyeing and recycled content which offers an additional range of 18 laminates with solution dyed content to GORE -TEX brand partners from 2019 onwards.
