Why no polyester?
The industry calls it “recycled.” We call it what it is: plastic.
A shredded bottle, spun into thread, worn against your skin. And the recycled version is worse, a 2025 study found recycled polyester sheds 55% more microfibers than virgin polyester, with particles small enough to travel deeper into the body. Researchers are now finding plastic in human blood and testicular tissue.
Activewear adopted polyester because it’s cheap and carries a 10x margin over natural fibers like merino. Not because it’s better against the skin. Not because it performs in the conditions our bodies actually train in. Simply because it’s cheaper. The “recycled” label didn’t fix that, it made it worse.
Return to nature
For a millennium, natural fibers like wool clothed history’s greatest emperors, athletes, and builders, until big sportswear forgot their potential. We refused to believe synthetics were the only answer for modern performance. Nero was born from this conviction.
