BSA BOY SCOUTS 1910 AMERICAN FLAG JERSEY SHIRT 100% Recycled Polyester Medium - $15 - (Anderson, SC)
Measurements: Top collar to bottom hem 28" Armpit to Armpit 22" Shoulder to shoulder 20" Like New! ALL-AMERICAN Marketed under the label “Repreve,” the material comprises plastic PET bottles that are collected, melted down, and spun into new fiber without the use of crude oil. From there, SustainU works its manufacturing magic to create the end product. Instead of outsourcing the job abroad, the BSA chose SustainU to create an eco-friendly shirt that “truly represents scouting today,” according to a spokesman. The entire manufacturing process occurs within a 200-mile radius of the BSA distribution epicenter in Charlotte, NC, cutting down on shipping emissions. Instead of outsourcing abroad, the BSA chose SustainU to create an eco-friendly shirt that “truly represents scouting today.” “Most people don’t realize that approximately 68 pounds of clothing per person in the United States is thrown away every year, which amounts to about 10 percent of all the waste in landfills today,” says Chris Yura, CEO of SustainU. “By using Repreve in the BSA apparel, we’re delivering a comfortable, high-performance shirt that is helping to minimize the environmental impact of apparel production.” So far, the BSA has two T-shirts (“Americana” and “Performance”) for sale, with a third shirt, “Hiker,” available in fall. Could 100 percent recycled uniforms be on the horizon? SustainU declined to comment, so we’ll peg that as a maybe. + Boy Scouts of America FREE SHIPPING I SHIP SAME DAY OR FOLLOWING MORNING ONCE PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED. THANKS FOR LOOKING!
