Chargeurs*PCC says the blends create solutions that retain loft, control odours, provide natural thermoregulation, and are moisture resistant—in addition to being traceable and sustainable.
The announcement was made at Milano Unica today (1 February) and sees Chargeurs*PCC introduce a blend with 85% sustainable Nativa wool and 15% environmentally friendly, plant-derived polylactic (PLA), which offers enhanced degradability, as well as a blend with 80% sustainable Nativa wool and 20% durable, recycled polyester certified by GRS for traceability. These high-quality products combine the best features of wool with sustainable fibres to create padding products that are sustainable and performant, Chargeurs*PCC says.

It explains Nativa branded fibre was launched by its sister company Chargeurs Luxury Materials, under Chargeurs Textile. Along with following Textile Exchange’s Responsible Wool Standard, the farms that supply Nativa are also held to a second proprietary protocol that includes four pillars surrounding animal welfare, land management, social responsibility, and traceability via blockchain technology.
