High breathability and stretchability for comfortable exercise and work The breathable mesh material makes it comfortable to wear even when you sweat, and it doesn’t get stuffy. The stretchy material also makes it easy to move around in, so it’s great for sports and outdoor activities, as well as for active scenes such as innerwear and workwear. 2. Antibacterial effect of “electric fiber” Pieclex generates a weak electricity when the fibers move with human movement, exerting an antibacterial effect*1. Since it does not use
antibacterial agents, its effectiveness lasts even after repeated washing. This product uses Pieclex fiber on the surface that touches the skin, so it maintains a clean and comfortable feel even in sweaty seasons or when it is expected to be worn every day. 3. Designed to return to soil after use, so it doesn’t become garbage (P-FACTS compliant) Compatible with P-FACTS, an apparel recycling
infrastructure initiative led by Pieclex. After use, the material is not incinerated, but returned to nature through composting, and is used in agriculture and forestry to nurture new life. As part of efforts to realize a recycling-oriented society, we also recommend the use of this material in uniforms for companies and organizations. ■ About Pieclex, the “electric fiber” that nurtures the earth and weaves the future “Electric fiber” Pieclex is a new material born from the fusion of Murata Manufacturing’s piezoelectric technology “denki” and Teijin Frontier’s synthetic fiber technology “seni”. When the fibers move with human movement, they generate a weak electricity and have antibacterial effects*1. In addition, Pieclex is made from polylactic acid, a bioplastic derived from plants such as corn and sugar cane, and is biodegradable*2, allowing it to be broken down by
microorganisms. In addition, it can be collected by our recycling infrastructure “P-FACTS”, allowing it to be recycled in an
environmentally friendly way. This allows you to experience technology and contribute to the environment just by wearing it.

plant-derived polylactic acid material called “electric fiber,” and composts them all at once. It has already begun operation in collaboration with many partner companies, local governments, welfare facilities, school corporations, and other stakeholders. This recycling infrastructure is based on the idea of ​​”local consumption, local circulation,” which reuses products used locally, and aims to realize a sustainable fashion society that consumers can easily participate in. Products that support “P-FACTS” are given the P-FACTS certification mark, which guarantees that they can be “composted and used to grow new plants,” providing an environmentally friendly option.
