Plant-based alternative to animal and petroleum-based insulation materials.
Gentle fill material. The product utilizes regenerative wetland agriculture practices, consisting of natural fibers grown in such environments - blended along with other similar decomposable fibres.
Can compete with infamous goose down, except the fact BioPuff®'s completely & totally cruelty-free.
Properties
We know what worries you most - but rest assured, BioPuff® is rightly so marketed to be just as warm as goose down - so now you can sit back & relax to enjoy some of its other fun quirks:
Hydrophobic.
100% plant-based. Planet friendly!
Loft & light.
Has cluster structure, which makes it act like real down. Its loftiness only adds to the described.
Cyclability
BioPuff® is specially designed to re-enter nature at the end of its cycle.
Saltyco® even goes so far as to claim they are able to provide you with backing information regarding the exact ingredient's origins, mentioning the phrase "from field to fashion" - thanks to their renowned, transparent supply chain and tracking processes.
"By replacing your current jacket filler with BioPuff®, you could...
Regenerate 10 mt2 of land
Abate 40kg of CO2"!!
APPLICATIONS
A great alternative for all types of down, thanks to its abovementioned cluster structure.
Fill for jackets and other similar garments (blankets, let's say).
FOOTWEAR APPLICATIONS
Cushioning
Insulation
Production process
Saltyco® is using waterless mechanical processes, manufacturing their product with low (to none) amounts of energy waste. Staying true to their word.
Manufacturing facts
They're lost way too deep in the marshes searching for BioPuff®'s origins to bother informing us on this topic, but hopefully we manage to catch them soon!
production time
Saltyco® partners with a vast community of farmers and conservation groups located in places like Cambridgeshire, East Lothian, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern & Somerset.
"Conservation agriculture restores natural ecosystems by removing crops that dominate local environments. This farming method promotes biodiversity and soil health. This process often requires management of larger plants to create a healthy balanced ecosystem where birds, minibeasts and more can thrive."
