Fruit of the Loom
Biodegradable Leisurewear

Premium sweats made to last. Designed to break down more like natural fibres when they reach the right conditions.

Synthetic leisurewear is loved for comfort and durability—but conventional polyester can persist in the environment if it escapes into nature as microfibres. Fruit of the Loom's latest leisurewear range uses CiCLO® biodegradable technology to help synthetic fibres biodegrade in environments where natural biodegradation can occur, while keeping the look, feel and performance you expect from everyday sweats.

Whether you're stocking up for teams, workwear, events, clubs or personal wear, this collection is built for frequent use—and designed with a more responsible end-of-life in mind.

What makes this leisurewear different?

This range is made with polyester fibres enhanced with CiCLO® technology, helping the material biodegrade more similarly to natural fibres (such as wool) when exposed to the right disposal conditions. That means you get the benefits of modern performance fabrics—without the same level of long-term persistence associated with standard synthetics.

What is CiCLO® biodegradable technology?

CiCLO® is a fibre technology designed to help synthetic textiles biodegrade when they end up in specific environments where biodegradation is possible. In other words: it's still made to perform like modern leisurewear, but with a built-in pathway for breakdown under appropriate conditions.
