Eco Products
It doesn't feel rough, like you might have thought something made out of plastic would.

All the garments in our Eco-uniform range contain polyester made from non biodegradable plastic drinking bottles, which would otherwise end up in landfill. Each item consists of part or total polyester content made from recycled plastic bottles.
Keep a look out for this on all our eco-clothing.

What makes it ‘Eco’?
Plastic bottles are used instead of crude oil in the production process to create polyester for our Eco-garments.
The environmental benefits
- The total process of producing polyester in this way uses less energy and reduces CO2 emissions.
- Reduction of landfill
Cost, durability, washing & care
- Eco-uniform should cost no more than an equivalent quality non-eco garment.
- Every Eco-garment is as durable and high in quality as our non-eco garments.
- Easy to care for and as comfortable as our non-eco garments.
The quality of the uniform is fantastic, my 3 year old son wears the trousers, he is very active, always climbing, falling over and getting himself filthy, the trousers are still as good as new. They wash brilliantly even on a 15 degree wash.
