ION Bike | Durabilité

Chez ION, nous pensons que les limites sont avant tout définies par les compétences et la passion de chacun. Le vent et les intempéries sont des défis que l'on peut relever. C'est pourquoi nous développons des produits conçus pour vous accompagner sur l'eau, en montagne et dans les airs. Parallèlement, nous intégrons continuellement des considérations environnementales dans nos produits et nos processus.

ION recherche en permanence des matériaux nouveaux, innovants et plus durables. Nous nous engageons à éviter l'utilisation de produits chimiques nocifs en optant pour des matériaux et des fournisseurs agréés. La majorité de nos fabricants de tissus sont certifiés bluesign® et Ökotex 100.

SAS-TEC

Together with SAS-TEC, we succeed in bringing more eco into the ION protective gear. More than 60% of the unique viscoelastic SAS-TEC PU foam consists of renewable raw materials.

ION Bike Sustainability Organic cotton Fabric 160gsqm

COTON BIOLOGIQUE

Organic cotton is grown in mixed crops and/or crop rotation instead of in monoculture. This improves the soil quality and thus reduces water consumption from 10,000 l / kg to about half, depending on the source and the land in which it is grown. The use of GMO (genetically modified organism) is prohibited, as is the use of herbicides and pesticides (conventional cotton is treated about 20 times before harvesting). Chemical-synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are also prohibited.

Drirelease Eco

Consists of 15% organic cotton and 85% recycled polyester. The new Drirelease e.c.o. fabrics combine the superior wicking and fast-drying properties of Drirelease while incorporating Unifi’s Repreve fibers, which are made of 100% post-consumer recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, the material commonly used to make plastic bottles and other synthetic containers.

POLYESTER RECYCLÉ

Everything that is recycled naturally does not end up in the sea. Recycled polyester is made chemically or mechanically from existing polyester products (e.g. PET bottles or waste from the sea). As a result, recycled polyester requires fewer raw materials (petroleum), approx. 50% less energy during production and emits approx. 30% less CO2. Furthermore, water usage during the process is reduced by approx. 90%. For example, recycled polyester is more sustainable than organic cotton in terms of energy and raw material consumption. The recycled polyester which is processed in our products is certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS).

PrimaLoft® Silver

PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation is made with 70% recycled polyester and provides superb thermal efficiency, water- and wind-resistance, compressibility and breathability. It uses post-consumer recycled material to create a high loft, thermally efficient, earth-friendly insulation. Approximately 28 recycled bottles are used in the making of each kilogram of PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation Eco, which equates to approximately six bottles per garment

S.Café®

A mandatory coffee or espresso break is part of every good day on the bike. Since there will always be coffee consumed, there will always be coffee grounds to be collected and used. Hence, there is never a need to waste time and energy to produce the essential S.Café® raw material. s.Café® technology combines coffee grounds onto the yarn surface, changing the characteristics of the filament, and offers up to 200% faster drying time compared to cotton.

ION Bike_Sustainability_Materials_Merino_MTB Bikewear

MERINO WOOL

We are using a 50/50 blend of merino wool & polyester. Using a 50/50 Merino mixture allows us to get the best out of this natural fabric.

Our base layers dry significantly faster, resist higher mechanical strain, and are easier to care for than a 100% Merino composition. Other than that, our base layers take advantage of the classic features of Merino wool:

– Renewable & natural fiber

– Highly breathable

– Antibacterial & odor neutral

– Moisture regulation: absorbs moisture without feeling damp & transports it away from the body

– Provides good UV-protection

RESPONSIBLE WOOL STANDARD (RWS)

The Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) is an industry tool designed to recognize the best practices of farmers, ensuring that wool comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land, and from sheep that have been treated Responsibly. As this is only a blend we can’t use any logos for the RWS (just as info)- only in the text as such

Protecting Animal Welfare

The Five Freedoms of sheep are protected at all times, referencing standards and best practices around the world.

Preserving Land Health

Progressive methods of land management are practiced on RWS farms, protecting soil health, biodiversity and native species.

Chain of Custody

Certification ensures that the identity of the RWS wool is maintained at all times: from the farm to the final product.

Credible Certification

A professional, third-party certification body audits each stage in the supply chain.

Confident Communication

Only products with 100% certified wool may carry the RWS logo.

Stakeholder Engagement

The RWS was developed with the input of farmers, animal welfare experts, land conservation experts, brands and retailers from all parts of the globe
