Understanding Your Wove Score

Every product gets a simple A to F grade based on fabric composition, sustainability, and health impact.

A+
95–100% natural fibers
Excellent

Made entirely from natural, sustainable materials like organic cotton, linen, wool, or silk. No synthetics. Minimal to no chemical treatments.

B
70–94% natural fibers
Good

Mostly natural materials with small amounts of synthetics (like spandex for stretch). Low microplastic risk and chemical concerns.

C
50–69% natural fibers
Fair

A roughly even blend of natural and synthetic fibers. Moderate microplastic shedding risk. Some chemical concerns may be present.

D
30–49% natural fibers
Poor

Mixed blend with moderate to high synthetic content. Moderate microplastic risk and potential chemical concerns.

F
Below 30% natural fibers
Bad

Primarily synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, or acrylic. High microplastic risk and chemical concerns. Consider alternatives.

Scoring Methodology

What we evaluate

Every Wove Score is based on these four key factors — analyzed independently with no brand influence.

Product

Fabric Composition

The percentage of natural versus synthetic fibers in the garment. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, wool, and silk score highest.

Primary Factor
Product

Microplastic Risk

Synthetic fabrics shed tiny plastic particles during washing. We assess how much microplastic pollution each garment is likely to produce.

Health & Environment
Product

PFAS Concerns

"Forever chemicals" are often used in water-resistant and stain-proof treatments. We flag garments that may contain these harmful substances.

Chemical Safety
Product

Sustainability

The overall environmental footprint based on material sourcing, biodegradability, durability, and end-of-life impact.
