SOCCER FEVER Warming up for the Worldcup? Then watch with grace, because eco fashion in football has finally arrived. Nike has produced environmental friendly jerseys for all teams made from recycled polyester. "We equip our athletes with new jerseys, which not only [...] optimize physical performance, but also manage to have less impact on the environment since they are made from recycled materials", said Charlie Denson, president of Nike. But "green" does not mean less effective as these jerseys include a technology enabling them to remain dry and maintain a proper body temperature. |
DON'T RECYCLE UPCYCLE Creating new products from waste materials or used items has three distinct benefits for manufacturers: it gives them access to free or inexpensive materials, it lends their products an aura of sustainability, and it provides embedded stories that sellers can share with consumers, and that consumers can share with their friends.

THE CARDBOARD CURIOSITY SHOP Located on 5th Avenue of the 1930s Brixton Village arcade in South London, is a new brand of concept store. Think Urban Outfitters but everything you buy makes you feel good. Circus, owned by Tabitha Rout and Binki Taylor, is filled with ethical fashion, original art, upcycled accessories and thrift shop goodies, all displayed on a honeycomb cardboard interior. The cardboard shelving and boxes are all fully adaptable, compostable and recyclable. And you can have your own cardboard dining table, lamp or mirror should your heart desire. |
