Entirely Recyclable Hoodies

The adidas by Stella McCartney Infinite Hoodie Featues NuCycl

The adidas by Stella McCartney Infinite Hoodie was created with Evrnu and its NuCycl technology, which is said to turn "old clothing into new, high-quality raw materials for the creation of new clothes." Like adidas and Stella McCartney, a number of forward-thinking brands are now exploring how to support a circular economy and 100% recyclable products to divert waste from landfills.

The Infinite Hoodie is comprised of 60% NuCycl and 40% organic cotton. The process of repurposing garment waste involves creating a pulp that's then liquified and then "pushed out of a 3D-printer-like extruder to form new yarn."

Thanks to its composition, the hoodie design not only boasts a unique look but also performance features that the materials couldn't previously offer in their original forms.
