ELKTON – As part of its on-going work with Bionic yarns, which uses marine and coastal plastic waste to make new yarns and polymers, W.L. Gore has introduced two new 2-layer Gore-Tex laminates that will feature in Patagonia’s autumn/winter 23 collection.
The recycled Bionic textiles used in the two new laminates start life in Bionic’s plastic recovery and sorting facility in Cóbano, Costa Rica, which diverts plastics from local marine environments and gathers plastic waste from the surrounding municipality.
Gore first announced its relationship with Bionic back in December 2020.
