ACT Running
ACT Running was founded in Paris in 2025 and makes technical running gear from plant-derived materials rather than virgin synthetics. Its BioPerf fabric is a bio-sourced knit for moisture absorption and quick vapour transmission, and the BioRip shell is a lightweight ripstop made from castor bean derivatives with a PFC-free water-repellent finish. Colder-weather pieces use ThermoShell, a bio-based, vegan insulation. Every garment carries a carbon label showing its specific CO2 impact, and the brand is B Corp certified. The site says each product bears its environmental impact as a guarantee of transparency. Urban Industry describes the design as minimalist, in muted, earthy tones. A sensible pick if you want spec-heavy running kit without the fossil-fuel fabrics.
