treeletic Activewear is among the best sustainable product innovations of 2026

From 1,200 entries to the finalists: Our activewear at the 2026 Green Product Award

We are excited to share a special milestone with our community:

Our activewear was named a finalist in the 2026 Green Product Award.

Out of a total of 1,200 submissions from 54 countries , the best projects were selected and awarded prizes in twelve categories. Alongside international companies, established brands, innovative startups, and university projects, our activewear is also among the award-winning finalists.

For us, this award is an important validation of our approach to consistently rethinking sustainable athletic apparel.

The Green Product Award

For many years, the Green Product Award has recognized products and concepts that combine sustainability, innovation, and design.

The award-winning projects span a wide range of fields—from architecture and mobility to interior design, fashion, and new materials.

What matters is not only a product’s environmental impact, but also its functionality, innovative strength, and market relevance.

Why we developed our activewear

To this day, the sportswear market is dominated by synthetic materials such as polyester and nylon.

While these materials offer functional benefits, they also present challenges in terms of resource consumption, microplastics, and recyclability.

That is why we deliberately chose a different development approach.

Our goal was to create activewear that meets the demands of modern sports apparel while breaking new ground in material selection and sustainability.

A focus on innovative materials

Our activewear collection centers on TENCEL™ and ROICA™ V550.

TENCEL™ is made from wood fibers and stands out for its exceptional comfort, high breathability, and effective moisture management.

ROICA™ V550 is the first stretch fiber of its kind to receive Cradle to Cradle Gold certification. It was developed to provide the elasticity required for athletic apparel while setting new standards for sustainable material concepts.

The combination of these two materials results in athletic apparel that combines comfort, functionality, and sustainability.

Sustainability doesn't stop at the material

In addition to the choice of materials, production and product quality also play a key role. Our activewear is manufactured to a high standard in Portugal. We prioritize short supply chains, high-quality craftsmanship, and durable products.

After all, sustainable athletic wear isn't just about better materials; it's about products that can be used for a long time.

Support for a different approach

We view our selection as a finalist for the 2026 Green Product Award as a validation of the path we have taken so far.

It shows that innovative materials, responsible production, and high functional standards are increasingly being considered together.

Above all, it shows that sustainability is no longer a niche topic, but rather a central component of modern product development.

The future of sportswear isn't becoming more sustainable because it has to.
It's because it's better.
