Throughout the world cotton is sprayed with roughly 2 billion dollars of chemicals, a large amount of which is classified as being hazardous. On top of the environmental impact caused from the chemicals, roughly 400 gallons of water are required to create a single cotton undershirt. Woodiees are made out of eucalyptus fiber from a fabric called Tencel. Tencel is free of any chemical sprays such as pesticides or insecticides and provides extreme comfort while being incredibly durable. Woodiees come in three styles -- boxer, boxer briefs and briefs. **Contact Information** Woodiees [website](http://www.woodiees.com/) Woodiees on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/WOODIEES) Woodiees on [YouTube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsaYQnGH0ZU) Woodiees on [LinkedIn](http://www.linkedin.com/pub/woodiees-by-eco2wear/27/618/747) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Couture:** The trend of using sustainable materials in fashion extends to undergarments, providing a disruptive opportunity in the eco-friendly clothing industry. - **Chemical-free Fabrics:** The use of fabrics like Tencel, which are free of chemical sprays, opens up opportunities for creating comfortable and durable clothing items with minimal environmental impact. - **Alternative Fiber Sourcing:** Exploring new sources of fibers, like eucalyptus, for fabric production presents innovative possibilities in the textile industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Sustainable Fashion:** The eco-friendly aspect of wood-based undergarments aligns with the growing demand for sustainable fashion, offering disruptive innovations in the clothing industry. - **Chemical-free Textiles:** Industries focused on manufacturing textiles without the use of harmful chemicals can capitalize on the trend of chemical-free fabrics. - **Natural Fiber Suppliers:** Suppliers specializing in alternative natural fibers, such as eucalyptus, can tap into the market for eco-friendly materials and contribute to the transformation of the textile industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biodegradable Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparepair-underwear.md) - [Discarded Wood Construction Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodoo.md) - [3D Contouring Boxers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manmades-the-boxer-brief.md) - [Wood-Created Progressive Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-jacket.md) - [Sustainable Bamboo Home Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ettitude.md) - [Sustainable Timber-Made Toilets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodio-block-toilet.md) - [Dessert-Hued Underwear Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stripe-stare-chocolate-collection.md) - [Performance-Focused Undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hux.md) - [Unique T-Shirt Materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airknitx-tshirt.md)
