Ralph Lauren is getting into the spirit of Earth Day. The brand
announced its newest style in its Ralph Lauren Polo line, aptly called
the Earth Polo and crafted from thread derived entirely from recycled
plastic bottles. Each shirt in the style is also dyed in a way doesn’t
use any water.
The brand partnered with sustainable organization First Mile to
create its new Earth Polo. First Mile works with entrepreneurs to
collect recyclable plastic bottles, then uses an eco-friendly
manufacturing system to process the plastic into high-quality yarn.
Each Earth Polo is made from about 12 plastic bottles. It is
available for sale just in time for Earth Day, and comes in four
colorways: Stuart Green, White, Navy and Baby Blue. Each color is
available in both men’s and women’s sizing, and retails for 89.50
dollars.
