Integrated sustainability

We’ve all been there: we’ve barely broken a sweat and our clothes no longer smell “fresh”.
Or after an evening in a restaurant, our clothes have taken on odors from the surroundings (food, smoke, etc.).
Who wants to smell like last night’s roast?

Founded in 2006, the Swedish ingredient brand Polygiene® uses its environmentally friendly freshness technologies to ensure that sports textiles and products do not smell unpleasant and last longer.
The 24/7 active Polygiene technologies not only offer odor-inhibiting functions, but are also part of the solution for a more sustainable use of our natural resources.

Based on silver salt / silver chloride, the growth of odor-causing bacteria in textiles is inhibited – thus eliminating the unpleasant odor commonly referred to as “sweat odor” in textiles at the source.
Simply dry sports textiles and wear them again – fewer washes, less water consumption – not only the environment, but also your wallet will thank you.

(Info: sweat itself is odorless, the unpleasant odor that lingers in the fabric is caused by the metabolism of bacteria, during which butyric acid is released)

Made from a raw material base of sand (silica) and water, environmental and body odors that have become trapped in textiles are permanently eliminated as the technology absorbs, breaks down and decomposes the odor molecules so that they can no longer be perceived as odors.
Longer wear times, fewer washes!
An invaluable advantage, especially for difficult-to-care-for garments – your customers will thank you for it.

StayFresh™ reduces the growth of odor-causing bacteria in textiles, which are the cause of the “sweaty” smell of bacteria.

OdourCrunch™ a natural, odor-absorbing technology based on sand and water, for all textiles and clothing.

Thanks to the highly effective, 24/7 active odor control technology, finished products stay hygienically fresh for longer and need to be washed less often.
This saves water, energy and detergent as well as time and money.
Less washing also means that the product lasts longer.

Added value at a glance:

• The certainty of not “smelling” unpleasant from your clothes thanks to Polygiene technology
• Favorite items stay hygienically fresh for longer and last longer
• Saves time, because if we only do one wash a week, that saves three days of washing time a year
• Conserving resources thanks to water, CO2 and energy savings.
  According to SWECO’s LCA, the eco-balance can be reduced by up to 1/3. reduce
• Less microplastics due to fiber leaching because of fewer washing processes
• No premature disposal of favorite items due to “permastink” or premature material wear caused by the washing machine
• Polygiene technology saves real money (no premature new purchases and less costly consumption of resources)
