Wadhurst, UK – 18 June, 2024 – Páramo, a leader in sustainable and innovative outdoor gear proudly announces the launch of its 360° Series, featuring the men’s Halkon 360° Jacket and the unisex Aspira 360° Smock. Crafted with cutting-edge fabric technology and decades of outdoor expertise, these feature-rich garments use chemically recycled polyester, which has been made from post-consumer and textile industry waste, a bold step towards circular production that does not sacrifice quality.
“I truly believe that as an industry we must concentrate on circularity - using raw materials from other industries does not present a long-term solution. The work we have done demonstrates that it is possible to “close the loop” within the outdoor sector.”
Richard Pyne, CEO Páramo Directional Clothing
