Sportswear brand Mizuno has chosen the Swedish Polygiene technology to add functionality in activewear for the Chinese market.
Polygiene Biostatic Stays Fresh technology protects against body odors by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, permanently stopping the odor at the source. It, therefore, reduces the number of times a product needs to be washed, giving the product a longer life and saving energy, time, and money.
Several products from Mizuno China, including sweaters, jogging bottoms, and down jackets, will feature the Polygiene BiostaticT Stays Fresh technology.
The partnership will see several items from Mizuno China for Autumn/Winter 2021/22 treated with the technology. Mizuno China, one of the major players in branded sportswear in the country, designs and creates products for a range of sports, including running, football, and many indoor sports, as well as lifestyle products.
Ulrika Bjork, CEO Polygiene, said, “We are proud to start working with Mizuno China, and we see considerable potential for growth with this iconic brand. Going forward, we are aiming to start cooperating with Mizuno in other countries on a global scale, but we take one step at a time.
As we share the same focus on sustainability, we hope to spread the message of longer-lasting products together with Mizuno in this region and globally.”
