Why Seamless knitting technology matters - Innovative and sustainable.

Seamless technology by Supacore

We are obsessed with improving everything. This includes our products, our people, our business, and our customers lives. When we had our epiphany around our CORETECH technology, we wanted to make sure that we not only upgraded the function of compression sportswear as we know it, but that we upgraded the way we produce and manufacture as well. We’ve taken traditional sports performance wear and given it a serious upgrade with our seamless knitting technology. Like everything that we do;

It matters because:

Seamless knitting improves the durability and lifetime of Supacore fabrications. Traditional apparel manufacturing (cut and sew) involves pieces of fabric being measured, cut to size, and then sewn together by hand or by a machine (or a combination of both). This means an increased probability of product fault, both in the sizing of the product and for every seam where the fabric is joined. It also means that over the time, the chances of both the product tearing and the compression forces throughout changing due to a weakening of the seams are increased – diminishing the quality,durability and lifetime of your product.

It matters because:

 We’re serious about your health, fitness, and injury recovery. You buy them because you want to improve your performance, to prevent injury, and to recover better. Seamless technology is at the “cutting edge” of clothing manufacture, and because the garment is produced in one piece, we’re able to fine tune the compression of each area to suit the muscles of the body. Traditional cutting and sewing methods mean producing to a pattern, where there can be numerous irregularities with  errors in the compressive forces within the garment.

It matters because:

 It’s better for the environment. Traditional “Cut and Sew” techniques involve outlining a deconstructed garment pattern to a flat piece of fabric, cutting out the pieces, and then sewing them together.No matter how efficient the fabric technicians are, there are a certain number of offcuts that are thrown away from the production of a garment. If a pair of tights made in a cut and sew technique has approximately 125g of off cuts per garment, and 1000 pairs are produced… that’s 125kg of waste. Seamless production means zero waste. Each product is made to exact specifications, removing the need for cutting, and removing the waste. Here at Supacore, we want to keep living, running, and training in a world that’s healthy and well looked after, so reducing our impact on the environment is an important part of our values.

Your choice in the products you purchase matters.

Supacore Efforts to reduce Environmental Footprint

Our Production Process Involves Seamless Knitting Technology consumes 35% Less Energy than competitors.

Sustainablity

Environmental

Supacore has made significant efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.

Our production process involving seamless knitting technology consumes 35 % less energy than competitors using the traditional cut and sew method. Seamless knitting ( created directly from yarns) can reduce waste as there are no scraps or offcuts produced during the production process. Additionally, seamless knitting improves the durability and longevity of garments, reducing the need for frequent replacements. With minimal post knitting operations a sustainable garment is created.

The company has set a target to reduce its use of manmade fibres by introducing more sustainable fibres like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and or bamboo.

Our goal is to convert our entire range by 2025 to sustainable fibres.

Additionally, seamless knitting can improve the durability and longevity of garments, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

 Other initiatives include investing in compostable packaging which can be broken down through a composting process and turned into nutrient-rich soil. And initiating minimalist packaging which uses as little material as possible to protect the product and reduce waste.

Social

We believe that diversity and inclusion are essential for building a strong and resilient workforce. Our company is committed to creating a workplace that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. 

Human Rights
