What is Polygiene Freshness™ – and how does Polygiene StayFresh™ Work?  

Who hasn't experienced this: as soon as a textile is soaked in sweat, it starts to smell. But why? - because sweat doesn't smell. True, but the combination of sweat and heat promotes the rapid growth of bacteria in the textile. And these are the source of unpleasant odors. Polygiene StayFresh™ technology is based on silver salt-silver chloride, which occurs naturally in water and soil. The silver salt simply blocks the growth of bacteria and microbes in the textile and eliminates the odour at the source. Thanks to this, the product remains fresher for longer and you can wash it less – saving water, energy and time. Less washing also means the product lasts longer. Polygiene StayFresh is bluesign® and Oeko-tex® Eco Passports certified and treated products can be recycled.

Polygiene. Environmental Benefits.

As you know, washing Polygiene products less frequently reduces energy and water consumption. By skipping every other wash you can save 51 kWh and 3,800 liters of water a year – for more information have a look at the recently published LCA (by SWECO). Longer-lasting textiles mean extended product cycles and promote the transition from fast-fashion consumables to more eco-friendly durables. Of course, hygienically fresh, long-lasting products become even more relevant with regard to the second-hand market.
