This recycling process saves raw materials and reduces energy consumption by an estimated 30% compared to manufacturing virgin polyester.

Made with at least 96% recycled polyester, each jersey is made using an average of 7 plastic bottles, and each short is made using an average of 6 plastic bottles—adding up to 13 plastic bottles per kit.
