Polygiene Technologies Can Reduce Environmental Impact By One Third  

MALMÖ, Sweden — January 26, 2023 — Polygiene®, a global supplier of antimicrobial and stay fresh technologies, has run a life cycle

assessment showing that washing items of clothing less frequently can reduce environmental impact by one-third. The results of this trial

show that by investing in garments treated with Polygiene StayFresh™, consumers can get the following benefits over the span of a year:

· Save Energy – Up to 51 kWh

· Save Water – Up to 3,800 liters of water

· Save Time – Earn back four free days of wasted time spent washing

   A consumer will typically wear a garment once before washing it. This equates to about 50 washes before the garment reaches the end

of its life. However, a T-shirt treated with Polygiene StayFresh means the garment stays fresher for longer. This powerful odor control

technology inhibits odor-causing bacteria.

Now the owner can confidently skip every second wash without worrying about bad odors from their T-shirt.

   One less wash means saving on energy, water, CO2, time, and money — and the T-shirt lasts longer.

   Heavy on both energy and resources, sport and fast fashion has a substantial environmental impact. Polygiene works with its partners  to

redefine product freshness, improve hygiene and achieve sustainability initiatives. We only have one planet — but one person can make a

positive impact by choosing mindful living.

   “Wearing garments treated with Polygiene StayFresh means less washing, more sustainable clothing, and longer-lasting, consumer-friendly

products that are kind to the planet too,” shared Polygiene CEO Ulrika Björk.
