Summary

Bio-Based Solutions

Brands are leveraging the performance properties of renewable naturals and bio-based materials, such as biodegradability, breathability and softness, to reduce the industry’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels. The adoption is creating more sustainable and comfortable products for outdoor enthusiasts that are more in tune with nature.

Enhanced Resilience

Extreme weather conditions exacerbated by climate change necessitate more resilient gear and weather-resistant materials to protect outdoor sports enthusiasts from increasingly harsh elements, such as heavy rain, intense heat and strong winds. Robust sports gear also means longer product lifespans, resulting in less waste.

Recycled & Recyclable Innovations

The use of recycled and recyclable materials continues to rise across the sector as the most widespread approach to sustainability. Many brands are opting for recycled polyester with high-performance capabilities, while others dive into their own waste streams or unlock the potential in materials otherwise destined for landfill.
