How can schools ‘go green’ through school uniforms?

 

As a school, you want to teach children about diminishing natural resources and manage your own waste disposal better. Collecting plastic waste is a good first step, but did you know Waste2Wear® can also recycle plastic bottles into high quality fabrics suitable for school uniforms?

 

 

Why source your uniforms from us? 

 

Through the process of recycling plastic bottles into school uniforms, you can teach children that as much plastic as possible needs to be reused to overcome the enormous waste issues of their generation. Meanwhile, students wear safe, clean, professionally made garments that look good and fit great!

 

Improve your sustainability rating, your corporate social responsibility profile and reduce your net carbon footprint! We can even show you how many bottles your kids have "saved" from landfills by giving you the number of bottles required for making the uniforms you order, a wonderful way to get the students involved and incentivized.
