How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Clothing is in direct contact with skin for 16+ hours daily. Synthetic fabrics (polyester, nylon, spandex) shed microplastics through wear and washing. PFAS water-resistant treatments, formaldehyde anti-wrinkle finishes, and synthetic dyes add additional chemical exposure. Athletic wear is particularly concerning due to PFAS moisture-management coatings.
Why We Rated It This Way
Patagonia's organic cotton t-shirts are among the cleanest mainstream options available. Their GOTS certification, commitment to PFAS removal, and supply chain transparency make them a leader in non-toxic clothing.
