Revolutionary Activewear Evolution: Tripulse, the New Era of Eco-Friendly Sports Gear
In a world where the fashion industry often overlooks the health and environmental impacts of its products, Tripulse stands out as a beacon of change. This sustainable activewear brand advocates for a holistic approach, prioritizing both people's and the planet's well-being at every step.
Addressing Modern-Day Slavery and Unfair Labor Practices
Tripulse is committed to eradicating harmful substances and practices that could potentially harm people and the environment. By working exclusively with suppliers who have confirmed their compliance with the International Labour Organization (ILO) standards, Tripulse eliminates forced and child labor, a significant concern in the garment industry.
The Risks of Synthetic Activewear
The risks associated with synthetic activewear mainly stem from its materials and chemical treatments. Common fabrics like polyester and nylon, derived from petroleum, have high environmental impacts due to energy-intensive production, greenhouse gas emissions, and the shedding of microplastics during washing, which pollute water bodies and enter food chains.
Additionally, activewear often contains chemicals such as PFAS ("forever chemicals") added to make fabrics water- or stain-resistant. These chemicals do not break down easily and have been linked to serious health issues, including endocrine disruption, reproductive harm, immune suppression, cancers, and other chronic illnesses. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin, especially during sweating when the skin is more permeable.
Tripulse's Solution: Sustainable and Toxin-Free Activewear
Tripulse counters these issues by prioritizing sustainable, toxin-free, and microplastic-free materials and safer manufacturing processes. The brand's Next Generation Sports Bra, for example, is made from a special composition of premium and certified wood fibre TENCEL™ Lyocell, which is naturally antibacterial and odour resistant. This material is soft, breathable, moisture-wicking, and antibacterial, and it is 100% compostable, meaning it can revert back to nature.
The brand's suppliers and manufacturers in Portugal are GOTS certified, ensuring regular third-party audits. Tripulse's products are designed with a focus on sustainability, from their design to their life cycle, packaging, shipping, and delivery.
Empowering Communities and Supporting Healthier Lifestyles
Beyond its commitment to sustainability, Tripulse believes in community and supporting people to lead healthier and happier lifestyles. The brand has achieved several milestones, including carbon neutrality, launching a ZeroWaste initiative, and introducing the Next Gen Sports Bra.
When shopping for sustainable activewear, Franziska recommends checking the label, opting for sustainable materials, considering preloved options, adopting a minimalist mindset, and being mindful of synthetic materials.
