Mafashoni othamanga ndi njira yabwino yodziwira ngati mathalauza a vinilu, nsonga za mbewu, kapena magalasi ang'onoang'ono a '90s. Koma mosiyana ndi mafashoni aposachedwa, zovala ndi zinthuzo zimatenga zaka zambiri kapena zaka kuti ziwole. Zovala zachimuna zatsopano za Vollebak zatuluka ndichovala chachipewakuti ndi kompositi kwathunthu ndi biodegrable. M'malo mwake, mutha kukwirira pansi kapena kuponyera mu kompositi yanu pamodzi ndi zipatso zakukhitchini yanu. Ndi chifukwa chakezopangidwakuchokera ku zomera ndi ma peel a zipatso. Onjezani kutentha ndi mabakiteriya, ndipo voilà, hoodie imabwerera kuchokera komwe idachokera, popanda kufufuza.

Ndikofunikira kuti ogula aganizire za moyo wonse wa chovalacho - kuchokera ku chilengedwe mpaka kumapeto kwa kuvala - makamaka pamene kutentha kwa dziko kumakwera. Pofika chaka cha 2016 panali malo okwana 2,000 ku US, ndipo mulu waukulu uliwonse wa zinyalala umatulutsa mpweya wa methane ndi carbon dioxide pamene ukuyamba kusweka, zomwe zimapangitsa kutentha kwa dziko. Mankhwala ochokera kumalo otayirako amathanso kutayikira ndikuyipitsa madzi apansi, malinga ndi EPA. Mu 2020, nthawi yakwana yopangira mafashoni okhazikika (tengani chovala ichi, mwachitsanzo) chomwe sichikuwonjezera vuto la kuyipitsa, koma kulimbana nalo.

Chovala cha Vollebakamapangidwa kuchokera ku mitengo ya bulugamu komanso mitengo ya beech. Mitengo yamatabwa kuchokera m'mitengo imasinthidwa kukhala ulusi kudzera munjira yotsekeka (99% yamadzi ndi zosungunulira zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito posinthira zamkati kukhala ulusi zimasinthidwanso ndikugwiritsidwanso ntchito). Ulusiwo umakulungidwa munsalu yomwe mumakoka pamutu panu.

Hoodie ndi yobiriwira kwambiri chifukwa imapakidwa utoto wa makangaza, omwe nthawi zambiri amatayidwa kunja. Gulu la Vollebak linapita ndi makangaza monga utoto wachilengedwe wa hoodie pazifukwa ziwiri: Ndiwokwera kwambiri mu biomolecule yotchedwa tannin, yomwe imapangitsa kuti ikhale yosavuta kutulutsa utoto wachilengedwe, ndipo zipatso zimatha kupirira nyengo zosiyanasiyana (zimakonda kutentha koma zimatha kupirira. kutentha mpaka madigiri 10). Popeza kuti zinthuzi ndi "zamphamvu zokwanira kuti zipulumuke tsogolo losayembekezereka la dziko lapansi," malinga ndi woyambitsa mgwirizano wa Vollebak Nick Tidball, akuyenera kukhalabe gawo lodalirika lamakampani ogulitsa katundu ngakhale kutentha kwa dziko kumayambitsa nyengo yoipa kwambiri.

Koma hoodie sichitha kuchoka pakuvala ndi kung'ambika kwachibadwa-imafuna bowa, mabakiteriya, ndi kutentha kuti biodegrade (thukuta siliwerengera). Zidzatenga pafupifupi masabata 8 kuti awole ngati atakwiriridwa mu compost, ndipo mpaka 12 ngati atakwiriridwa pansi—kutentha kwambiri, kumawonongeka mofulumira. "Chilichonse chimapangidwa kuchokera ku zinthu zachilengedwe ndikusiyidwa m'malo mwake," akutero Steve Tidball, woyambitsa mnzake wa Vollebak (ndi mapasa a Nick). “Palibe inki kapena mankhwala oti alowe m’nthaka. Zomera zokha ndi utoto wa makangaza, zomwe ndi zinthu zachilengedwe. Chifukwa chake zikasowa m'masabata 12, palibe chomwe chimatsalira. ”

Zovala zopangidwa ndi kompositi zipitilizabe kuyang'ana ku Vollebak. (Kampaniyo idatulutsa kale chomera ichi ndi ndereT-sheti.) Ndipo oyambitsawo akuyang’ana m’mbuyo kuti apeze kudzoza. “Chodabwitsa n’chakuti makolo athu anali otsogola kwambiri. . . . Zaka 5,000 zapitazo, ankapanga zovala zawo kuchokera ku chilengedwe, pogwiritsa ntchito udzu, makungwa a mitengo, zikopa za nyama, ndi zomera,” akutero Steve Tidball. "Tikufuna kubwereranso pomwe mutha kutaya zovala zanu m'nkhalango ndipo chilengedwe chimasamalira zina zonse."
