PlastfriIs wool plastic-free?
Wool contains no plastic — it is keratin protein, the same stuff as hair. It is also the most technical natural fiber you can buy.
Nature’s performance fiber
Wool insulates when wet, resists odor for days, regulates temperature, and is naturally flame-resistant — the property list activewear brands try to replicate in polyester.
It biodegrades fully, and shed wool fibers are nutrients, not pollution. Superwash-treated wool does carry a thin polymer coating for machine-washability; if that matters to you, look for untreated or GOTS-certified wool.
How Plastfri scores it
Wool, merino, cashmere, and other animal fibers score 0/100. A “50% wool, 50% acrylic” sweater scores 50 — the acrylic half.
Common questions
Why is so much knitwear acrylic instead of wool?
Price. Acrylic is a fraction of the cost. It also pills, sheds plastic, and holds odor — the lifetime cost math is closer than the price tag suggests.
Plastfri spots wool for you. Scores every product while you shop — covers, dims, or labels the high-plastic ones.
