CO2Renu – The Craghoppers Fleece Part Made with Carbon Emissions

July 25, 2024 by LifeandFitness

Leading global adventure travel brand, Craghoppers begins another new chapter in its longstanding sustainable story with CO2Renu, joining the range as an innovative way of recycling waste CO 2 into a product.
CO2Renu – The Craghoppers Fleece Part Made with Carbon Emissions
A world first for the outdoor industry, CO2Renu has been created in collaboration with industry experts, LanzaTech and is helping reduce the carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.
CO2Renu reshapes carbon waste by using CO 2 emissions as the starting point to create some of Craghoppers recycled polyester blends. The 4-piece collection features a full and half zip fleece for men and women in a variety of colourways including blue navy, black pepper, red and ecru.

A timeless design with colour pops to brighten the garment inside and out, each come with a helpful CO2Renu explanation label on the outer giving a smart finish whilst helping to inform the customer.
The science behind making a CO2Renu fleece is quite complex but it can be explained in three simple steps:
1. CO 2 waste is captured from manufacturing factories such as steel mills.
2. The captured CO 2 is then fermented (in a process much like making beer) into liquid
ethanol.
3. The liquid ethanol is then polymerised into fibres, which becomes some of the polyester fibres that will be a part of your new CO2Renu fleece.
Craghoppers is keen to ensure that sustainability is a key focus in every step of the manufacturing process. With that in mind, the CO2Renu Jacket and Half Zip were designed and developed in 3D design programme, CLO. Craghoppers’ Product Team chose to use CLO because it reduces the need for prototypes, therefore reducing waste.
“We are really excited to be working in collaboration with Industry experts to incorporate innovative fabrics on our sustainable sourcing journey.” Katie Cotterill, Senior Buyer Manager on Craghoppers’ Product Team says. “As a technical outdoor brand, polyester is one of our most commonly used fibres. To be able to incorporate LanzaTech’s groundbreaking technology into our fabrics means that we are able to take the first step on
our journey to using next generation recycled fibres that don’t rely on recycled bottles.”
The CO2Renu Collection is available online at Craghoppers.com.
