At TALP, we believe that technology can advance without compromising the planet.
That is why we have made transparency and sustainability essential pillars in our production.

1. Debunking the myth

Graphene is an extraordinary material, but as with any new technology, there is a lot of misinformation circulating about its environmental impact.
Yes: some forms of graphene production can be polluting.
But that is NOT our case.

At TALP, we use textile-grade graphene, produced under the strictest environmental standards and verified by external audits.

2. More uses with fewer washes

Bad odor in technical garments does not come directly from sweat, but from the proliferation of bacteria that metabolize organic compounds present in moisture. In conventional synthetic fibers, these bacteria easily adhere and multiply, generating volatile compounds responsible for persistent odor.

Graphene integrated into the fiber acts bacteriostatically. This means it hinders bacterial proliferation by altering the fiber's surface environment, reducing the microorganisms' ability to adhere and multiply. Since it is structurally integrated—and not applied as a surface treatment—this behavior remains stable with use and washing.

The result is a garment that maintains a fresh feeling for longer between uses.

From a technical and environmental perspective, this has direct implications:

• Less frequent washing

• Reduced water consumption

• Lower domestic energy demand

• Less use of detergents and chemical products

• Reduction of microfiber release into the environment

• Less mechanical degradation of the fabric

Therefore, the antibacterial property not only improves comfort. It also optimizes the product's real life cycle, promoting sustainability based on prolonged use and effective preservation.

3. Our responsible production

Our manufacturer operates with a highly optimized and low-impact production system:

• 85% of energy comes from solar power

This drastically reduces the CO₂ footprint in the production and integration of graphene.

• Minimal water usage

Our processes are designed to consume less water than most conventional textile productions.

• Plant with internal water treatment system

Nothing is discharged untreated. Water is filtered, recirculated, and reused.

• Clean and optimized graphene integration technology

Graphene is directly incorporated into the polymer before spinning, without dyes, without chemical baths, and without generating micro-waste.

3. Certifications and independent audits

We work with globally recognized certifications.

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100

Guarantees that our fabrics are free from harmful substances for people and the environment.

Full environmental assessment by SGS

SGS, one of the most rigorous certification bodies in the world, has conducted a CO₂ audit and has recognized us for our reduced impact.

4. Frequently asked questions

Does graphene pollute?
It can, depending on the method. Our textile-grade graphene is produced under clean standards, using solar energy and low water consumption.

Is it safe to wear on the skin?
Yes. It is OEKO-TEX® certified, which guarantees that it does not contain harmful substances.

Are particles released when washing the garment?
No. Graphene is integrated into the fiber's polymer, not surface-applied.

What is its impact compared to a conventional t-shirt?
Lower energy consumption, lower water usage, and longer lifespan, which reduces the overall impact.
