At Ecoalf, sustainability and innovation are present in every garment we design. Our commitment to the environment and the search for sustainable materials have led us to use Sorona, a high-performance fiber with a low environmental impact. This fiber offers an ecological and high-quality alternative that competes with traditional materials. Here we explain everything about Sorona fabric: what it is, its advantages, and why we use it in some of our coats.
What is Sorona?
Sorona is an innovative fiber developed from renewable sources such as corn. Unlike conventional fibers that rely heavily on petrochemical products, Sorona integrates 37% renewable materials, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint. This ecological approach is ideal for those who want high-quality garments without compromising the environment. In addition, Sorona is not only sustainable but also highly functional, offering excellent elasticity, softness, and durability.
Characteristics of Sorona fiber
Sorona fiber is known for its unique structure and properties that make it stand out from other materials on the market. Some of its main characteristics include:
Natural elasticity: Sorona has inherent elasticity, allowing garments to maintain their shape and resist wear even after multiple uses and washes.
Soft touch: Sorona garments feel exceptionally soft on the skin, providing comfortable and pleasant wear for daily use or outdoor activities.
Strength and durability: Thanks to its molecular structure, Sorona is highly resistant to abrasion and pilling, ensuring garments remain in excellent condition for much longer.
Water resistance: Another characteristic is its resistance to moisture absorption, making Sorona ideal for cold and humid climates—perfect for coats and jackets designed for different weather conditions.
Advantages of using Sorona in garments
Using Sorona in our garments provides multiple advantages, both for users and the planet:
Reduced environmental impact: Made partially from renewable resources, Sorona helps reduce the use of petroleum-based materials and significantly decreases the carbon footprint of each garment.
Energy-efficient production: Sorona production requires less energy compared to conventional synthetic fibers, helping to conserve natural resources and reduce harmful emissions.
Advanced thermal properties: Sorona offers excellent thermal insulation, ideal for maintaining body warmth in cold conditions. This is especially beneficial in our sustainable coats and jackets, providing warmth without excessive weight or volume.
Design versatility: Thanks to its properties, Sorona can be used in different types of garments—from jackets to trousers and accessories—without compromising performance.
Long lifespan: As a highly durable material, Sorona garments last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements and contributing to a more sustainable consumption model.
Sorona filling reviews
Sorona filling is an eco-friendly alternative to down and has gained popularity among users and sustainable fashion experts. Many value its lightweight feel and heat-retention capacity—essential qualities for comfort in cold weather. Being hypoallergenic, it is ideal for people with sensitivities or allergies.
Customers often highlight the softness and warmth of Ecoalf’s Sorona coats. Unlike traditional down jackets, Sorona coats retain volume and insulation without the use of animal-based materials, making them cruelty-free and environmentally friendly. They are also water-resistant and quick-drying—making them practical for rainy or snowy days.
