It&#8217;s part of a sustainability strategy that <strong>42K launched in 2020<\/strong>, with the goal of transforming its technical shirt catalog by committing to the use of recycled fabrics. Since then, the brand has launched several iconic collections\u2014<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/camisetas-de-running-recicladas-elements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elements<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/ozone-100-recycled-running-t-shirts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ozone<\/a>, Motion, Stride<\/strong>, and now Pangea\u2014all made with <strong>high-performance recycled fabrics<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<p>The journey hasn&#8217;t been easy, but the results speak for themselves. Each recycled garment manufactured by 42K contributes to reducing plastic waste and a lower <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Huella_de_carbono\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carbon footprint<\/a>, without sacrificing design or functionality. <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;From the very beginning we were clear that we wanted to offer more than just technical garments. We wanted to be an active part of change, to offer our customers an option that would allow them to perform at their best while making a responsible decision. The Pangea collection is another milestone in this mission&#8221;<\/em><strong>,<\/strong> says <strong>Guillermo Pe\u00f1alver<\/strong>, manager of 42K.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Infini_Tech fabric was introduced, the first 100% recycled fabric in the 42K catalog, and a couple of years later <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/42krunning.com\/en\/new-100-recycled-triactive-fabric\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TriActive<\/a> fabric<\/strong> was incorporated, also 100% recycled, which brought the Motion collection to life.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A clear roadmap: 2030 as the goal<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Pangea collection is not the end point, but another step toward a very ambitious goal: <strong>to reach 2030 with the entire 42K technical shirt catalog made exclusively with recycled fabrics<\/strong>.
