Who would have thought that recycled plastic bottles would
be used to make sports uniforms? I’m sure not a lot of people think of it that
way, but Nike does.
The major sportswear outfitter has a uniform design that is
intended for soccer teams such as the USA, France, Brazil and Poland. Each
uniform would be manufactured using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles,
according to Nike’s website (wasterecyclingnews.com).
Also on the website, the shirts for the uniforms will
contain at least 96% recycled polyester, while the fabric of the shorts will be
made with 100% recycled polyester.
Back in 2010, every World Cup team wore jerseys made from
recycled polyester. Each uniform that was made was created from an average of eight
recycled bottles.
The uniforms are made by taking discarded PET plastic
bottles and melting them down and converted into fabric to create the apparel
(wasterecyclingnews.com).
Nike recently released new uniforms for Team USA Basketball,
which features an average of 22 recycled plastic bottles per uniform.

The use of soccer uniforms in marketing has helped the main brands of sports clothes and these uniforms, especially the jerseys are used by young people to go out to parties, going to shopping centres and even on dates.
