PlastfriFleece
Petro-synthetic
High plastic. Almost always polyester. A single wash can release hundreds of thousands of fibers.
What fleece is
Polar fleece is polyester knit that has been napped and sheared to trap air. The brushing that makes it cozy also breaks fibers loose, which is why fleece sits at the top of shedding charts.
“Recycled fleece” made from bottles sounds circular, but it downgrades bottle-grade PET into a form that sheds microfibers and cannot be recycled again.
How Plastfri scores it
When a composition is listed, fleece scores as its fibers do — usually 100% polyester, so 100/100. When a listing only says “fleece”, Plastfri estimates high (85–100) with an “(est.)” marker, because the word almost always means polyester.
The same weight applies everywhere: a product's score is the percentage-weighted plastic share of its listed fiber composition, and every weight is public.
