Non-plastic sport gear

Non-plastic sport gear is a project that addresses the environmental impact of traditional plastic sport equipment with modern and sustainable solution.

We aim to encompasses a wide range of innovative products designed to provide athletes with high-performance gear while minimizing ecological harm, starting of with innovative running gear.

This alternative to traditional plastic gear combines cutting-edge technology and eco-friendly materials to offer athletes a more sustainable and ethical choice in their sporting equipment.

This project is a collaboration with Menadena.

From material testing to user feedback

Our Project Approach

At WEEV Textiles, we take a meticulous approach to develop our non-plastic sport gear with Menadena. Starting small, but thinking big we will start by testing different combinations of environmentally friendly materials to ensure durability and performance.

Then, we move on to prototyping and gather valuable feedback from focus user groups. This iterative process allows us to refine our products before they go into production, ensuring that we deliver the best possible gear to our customers.

A change

For who?

Eco-Conscious Athletes

Athletes are embracing environmentally responsible options, shaping a market segment that values sustainable and high-performing sport gear.

This segment forms the core of our target market; athletes who think not only about themselves, but also about the impact of their choices on the world around them.

Clearly, our products have the potential to reach global markets. There is an international audience that craves sports equipment that is plastic-free, but does not compromise on performance.

What makes us stand out

The current impact on plastic sportwear

Environmental Impact

Plastic sport gear contributes significantly to environmental degradation, creating non-biodegradable waste and contributing to pollution in landfills and natural habitats.

Health Concerns

Plastic sport gear contains harmful chemicals that pose health risks to athletes and individuals manufacturing or handling these products.

Lack of Sustainability

Traditional plastic sport gear lacks sustainability, relying on finite resources and contributing to the depletion of natural materials.

Customization Options

Athletes can personalize their gear, from colors to design elements, ensuring each product meets their unique preferences and requirements.

What do we do to make a change..

Why is this so important?

The demand for sustainability and the rejection of plastic alternatives has created a growing market demand for eco-friendly sports equipment.

We identify a special group of consumers – environmentally conscious athletes – who not only demand the best performance from their equipment, but also expect it to be produced responsibly and sustainably.
