Billions of plastic bottles go into landfills every year. But now you can do something about it. REPREVE® is the leading, most trusted, branded performance fiber made from recycled materials (including plastic bottles). And our very own KingGee and Hard Yakka is leading the charge by introducing this fiber into a range of sustainable garments and footwear.
To date, KingGee have implemented the REPREVE® fabric into the new Raptor Active range, with each item saving 12 post consumer bottles from landfill. Hard Yakka on the other hand have been incorporating this new sustainable textile since 2019 and saw great initial results with the Ripstop range, saving a total of 11,700 post consumer bottles were recycled in the 1st month of sales (2019) which was 50% of the stock on hand. In addition the Tradies Utility range continued to gain momentum with a total of 288,000 post consumer bottles recycled, and the number continues to grow.
The majority of customers today want to be able to purchase all safety equipment through the one Supplier / Company and this is exactly what we want to offer.
