How this ranking works
Each product's score is the percentage-weighted plastic share of its listed fiber composition — polyester weighs 100, viscose 10, cotton 0, with every weight public. Only products whose material evidence passed a completeness audit are ranked here; a low score with incomplete evidence is a conservative estimate, not proof of a plastic-free product.

Common materials in shorts
- Elastane (Spandex) — 100/100. The stretch in your stretch. Polyurethane-based, in nearly everything fitted.
- Polyester — 100/100. The world’s most-worn plastic. Made from PET — the same polymer as soda bottles.
- Nylon (Polyamide) — 100/100. The original synthetic fiber, spun from crude-oil-derived polyamide.
