The environmentally friendly activewear line includes pieces made from NFP Elastic, NFP Extreme and NFP Sport fabrics, which offer durability, compression and freedom of movement during a range of physical pursuits. This debut collection from OSHeN appeals to health-conscious men and women with an eye for style and a desire to support a more sustainable planet, as many popular athletic apparel styles are actually made from plastic-based materials. Thanks to bamboo's inherent properties the natural fiber is breathable and helps moisture evaporate into the air. Some of the styles available from OSHeN Active include [all-purpose bras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-ready-sports-bra), tanks, t-shirts and compression shorts in a range of colors. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco Activewear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and environmentally friendly activewear made from alternative materials. - **Bamboo Fabric:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of bamboo fabric in various industries, such as fashion and home textiles, for its breathability and sustainable properties. - **Ocean Conservation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products and solutions that support ocean conservation efforts, aligning with consumers' growing environmental concerns. ### Who This Affects Most - **Athletic Apparel:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce eco-friendly alternatives to traditional athletic apparel made with plastic-based materials. - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate sustainable materials like bamboo fabric into mainstream fashion, promoting a more environmentally responsible industry. - **Textiles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and invest in technologies to produce sustainable fabrics that can replace plastic-based textiles in various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Plastic-Free Compostable Sportswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-athletic.md) - [Eco-Minded Workout Wear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-2.md) - [Sustainable Ocean Waste Swimwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ocean-flex.md) - [Sustainable Performance Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-sportswear.md) - [Sustainable Sports Braces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-brace.md) - [Sustainable Yacht Crew Uniforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-marine-suppliers.md) - [Sustainable Sports Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-ready-sports-bra.md) - [Revolutionary Activewear Fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolia-activewear.md) - [Activewear Lounge Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-motions-collection.md)
