When asked, Kathmandu did not give a clear definition of 'biodegradable' or 'biomass' other than 'it is all organic' - although we know the jacket is made of nylon (not organic).
Kathmandu does not disclose information about the additive used in the nylon that apparently makes this degradation process speed up from 50 years to 6 years. But again, in this case, it seems biodegrade means to 'break up' into lots of little pieces of plastic rather than 'capable of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms’.
The jacket is $599.98NZ. That is $150 more than a Kathmandu jacket of a similar style.
I concluded my reel by stating ”I believe this jacket is an epic greenwashing stint.”
Note: greenwashing = when a company spends more time and money telling the world they are sustainable rather than actually making a notable sustainable change or difference. Greenwashing is a communication and marketing strategy that preys on people’s genuine desire to do the right thing for the planet.
Two days later, I received an email from Kathmandu asking me if I was interested in a conversation with their ‘technical experts’. They wanted the opportunity to ‘hear more about some of my concerns’. To be honest, I didn’t want to. I knew I wouldn’t learn anything new from them because my main concern about the BioDown Jacket is the way it’s marketed: a blatant image of a jacket sitting in landfill - no matter what else I learnt about the jacket, this wouldn’t change. I lead a full life and it was also my turn to dance with COVID, but when I mentioned this email to my husband, Tim, he said “do it. You owe them a moment to explain themselves plus you can represent the thousands of people who want answers.” He was right. So I booked a meeting.
