All NEAVE products from naNea are based on OceanSafe technology. They contribute to the health of people and the environment. They are particularly soft on the skin and achieve maximum functionality.

Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold

Cradle to Cradle Certified is the leading holistic standard for a consistent circular economy. No certification concept evaluates products as strictly and comprehensively as Cradle to Cradle. At the end of the 1980s, chemistry professor Dr. Michael Braungart developed the Cradle to Cradle model for recyclable industrial processes and materials: Our products are certified by Cradle to Cradle with regard to the five core areas of material health, recyclability, renewable energies, water balance and social responsibility. NEAVE products are without exception at the Cradle to Cradle Certified Gold level, and even Cradle to Cradle Platinum certified in material health.

Tested free of toxins

The only heavy metal at NEAVE: platinum. Because our material health has been rated Cradle to Cradle Certified Platinum. NEAVE products made from naNea meet the highest demands: in addition to the fibre, textiles, process chemicals, dyes and accessories developed from it. They do not contain heavy metals, conventional plasticizers, UV blockers, fluorine compounds, flame retardants, BPAs, biocides, silicones and other toxic contents. NEAVE products are simply free of toxins!

Closed circuit

NEAVE's unwavering commitment to excellence in product development and manufacturing is a true game-changer in the textile industry. The standout feature is the revolutionary take-back system. NEAVE incorporates depolymerization into the design phase, allowing us to repurpose components from old T-shirts into new ones, minimizing resource usage. This is the epitome of a well-rounded, sustainable approach to product lifecycles!

Resource-saving

NEAVE products use as few natural resources as possible. NEAVE surpasses the gold level requirements of Cradle to Cradle. Of course, at least 50% renewable energies are used in the manufacture of NEAVE products: along the entire value chain. Overall, the use of energy is significantly lower: On the one hand, the melting point of naNea is below that of a conventional polyester, and on the other hand, lower temperatures during the dyeing process are sufficient. In addition to the significantly reduced energy consumption, we conserve other resources: Compared to a T-shirt made of conventional cotton, significantly less water is consumed. Special focus is on CO2 emissions: NEAVE is proud of a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

Soft from the ground up and flame retardant

The synthetic fibre naNea combines the positive properties of synthetic and natural fibres: a unique combination to date. Conventional polyester is "improved" in its properties with the help of harmful chemicals: a change that has a heavy impact on the environment. In naNea, all these properties are inherent: hydrophilicity, breathability and flame retardancy. No subsequent and ecologically worrying changes are necessary. A plus point: Untreated fabrics made of naNea are softer and more comfortable to wear without sacrificing high durability.

Safe for the biological cycle

deally, NEAVE products come back at the "end of life": These can be depolymerized and processed into new high-quality products without any loss. Even if they end up in nature, this is not a problem, unlike conventional polyester. The fundamental building block of naNea is unique: natural microorganisms can penetrate the material and facilitate decomposition. NEAVE products made from naNea do not produce any harmful substances: they contribute only nutrients for the future.
