The ALGA Hoodie combines natural functionalities in a classic, timeless design.
Our latest fabric innovation transforms nature into a textile by processing wood pulp and algae powder together. Cotton provides additional robustness. The result is a resource-saving hooded sweater that is incomparably soft and comfortable.

algae
Seaweed is a naturally regenerative resource. They grow in large numbers under the sea, so fresh water is not needed during the growth phase. The required algae are only harvested in Iceland every four years so that they can fully regenerate in the meantime.
Wood-based fibers
The wood pulp is converted into lyocell (a bio-based textile fibre), which is produced in a closed-loop production process – a process that recycles water and reuses up to 99% of the solvents used. This means there is very little waste and the fibers are biodegradable in the right conditions. Since the wood required grows without artificial irrigation and pesticides and can also be grown on dry soil, this material embodies a very sensible and sustainable solution for us.
Recycled cotton
Our current most sensible solution for cotton is to use recycled cotton, which is made from reused production waste and discarded textiles.
Raw material : 33% organic cotton, 33% recycled cotton (production leftovers), 33% wood and seaweed fibres
Rib: Elastic ribs made of wood fibers and biodegradable elastane (C2C certified)
Fabric: Softly brushed surface for maximum comfort
Pocket: Pouch pocket on front
Branding : Subtle print with the Muntagnard logo on the left sleeve and Muntagnard wordmark under the right arm.
Manufacturing : Yarn, fabric and final manufacture in Portugal
Size : The model is 180cm tall and wears a size M.
Transport routes reduced to a minimum , as the value chain is completely European
Significant water savings through innovative materials such as wood, algae and recycled cotton compared to traditional textile fibers
Recycled cotton: The use of recycled cotton saves several thousand liters of water per kilogram of cotton and significantly reduces energy consumption. One could argue that this fiber has already been produced and therefore required a lot of water and energy in the production. However, since the fiber is thus saved from being thrown away, this solution makes enormous sense for us and points the way to the future.
Bluesign certified fabric manufacturing
Wash at 40°C or lower
Hang or best lay flat to dry
If necessary, iron at medium temperature
Do not bleach
The fabric is knitted, dyed and finished near Braga (Portugal). Not far from here, in Vila das Aves, the products are sewn together before they are shipped to Switzerland. You can find out more about our producers here .
Apart from the exact origin of the certified organic cotton and the yarn producers, we know all partners and work steps along the entire supply chain.
The cotton, wood & algae fibers are biodegradable; the 2% elastane in the ribs and waistband are also ” Cradle to Cradle Certified® “. Except for the elastane, everything is completely recyclable.
Through the recycling of cotton, the use of wood and algae fibers and sustainable production practices, we achieve around a halving of the ecological impact compared to conventionally produced cotton sweaters.
