Light, classic knit is made from recycled cotton and recycled plastic bottles. This knit has a straight cut and normal-length hem. It has a crew neck. The hem, sleeves and neck opening are ribbed.
Farming the 24 billion kilograms of cotton consumed annually by the textile industry occupies 2.6% of the world’s area. This is an area the size of Turkey and it could feed 200 million people. Instead of virgin cotton, we use cutting waste generated by the textile industry. Compared to an equivalent product made from virgin materials, making a knit from recycled materials uses 99% less water and generates 50% fewer CO2emissions.
