INTRODUCING ENVYRO
As the global population continues to grow and we can see the long-term consequences of excessive energy use and industrial growth, we have a responsibility to play our part in reducing, recycling and repurposing. ENVYRO is our latest fabric offering, which is manufactured from recycled and sustainable materials.
While plastic consumption is on the rise, we’re doing our part to give single-use plastic bottles a second life. ENVYRO is the cornerstone of our sustainable eco-conscious program, where we have proudly reduced our water and energy consumption, invested in product development and realigned our environmental values for a sustainable future.
Driven by environmental, economic and social responsibilities, everyone from our elite sports teams through to grassroots organisations now have an opportunity to join us, as we play with purpose and look to the future of recycled performance fabrics.
