Why this grade?
This product scored 56/100 based on its composition of 77% Polyester, 13% Linen, 10% Nylon. Blended from 77% Polyester, 13% Linen, 10% Nylon — the overall score is a weighted average based on each material's proportion.
C (55-69): Average — typical blend, reasonable for everyday wear.
Average quality, high synthetic content
Decent for everyday wear, but the synthetic content means microplastic shedding and it won't biodegrade. Consider natural alternatives for your next purchase.
Every wash of synthetic fabric releases up to 700,000 microplastic fibers into waterways. Use a Guppyfriend bag to catch them.
This fabric will take 200+ years to decompose. That means a shirt you buy today will still exist in the year 2226.
Linen (score 76) is carrying this blend. Polyester (score 52) is pulling it down.
Biodegradability
Not BiodegradableMaterials will persist in the environment for decades.
Health & environmental impact →Health Impact
