What is ecodesign ?
EcoDesign aims to minimise a product's environmental impact from the very beginning, starting from the design to its entire life cycle.
To achieve this, we must be environmentally conscious when designing our products.
Decathlon ecodesign concept
In practical terms?
Eco-design principles can be applied to various aspects of a product. These principles are designed to reduce the product’s environmental impact.
EcoDesign Technology
77%* Decathlon EcoDesign products are produced by one of these 3 technologies: Recycled polyester, Bi-ton and Dope dyed.
*Last updated end of July, 2021
1) Recycled polyester
By recycling plastic bottles to produce our polyester, we reduce the use of petroleum-based resources while preserving the product quality.
2) Biton
Textile dyeing process requires a great deal of water but also generates sewage from dyeing vats. To reduce the environmental impact, we use only one mass-dyed thread out of two, reducing water usage.
3) Dope dyeing
Textile dyeing is a process that requires a great deal of water. Dope dyeing integrates the colour pigments into the fibre when manufacturing the thread. This technology makes durable and non-fading fabrics.
