Nike Recycls Plastic Bottles For World Cup Jerseys

As of yesterday, 32 teams from the 8 teams of the world cup in South Africa have all appeared.

It is understood that this world cup in South Africa, Brazil, Holland, Portugal, the United States, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Serbia and Slovenia, the 9 teams are wearing 8 plastic bottles made of "polyester Jersey."

As a provider of the product, Nike recovered about 13 million plastic bottles before the world cup, totaling 254 tons of polyester waste.

According to the data given by Nike, recycling these wastes to make jerseys, rather than treating them in the usual way, can save a total of 29 football field landfill sites.

"This is the best action ever made in sustainable development.

The new uniforms not only bring visual enjoyment to the athletes, but also improve their performance. At the same time, recyclable materials are used to reduce the damage to the environment.

According to Nike, these balls made of plastic bottles are 13% lighter than ordinary fibers and have better sweat absorption and sweating performance.

What is more concerned is the manufacturing cost of such recycled shirts.

In response to this, Nike has also given practical instructions that the family version of the Jersey has been sold in Nike stores and online stores, priced at about 50 euros per unit, which is equivalent to the price of the Jersey made of traditional fabrics.

This shows that this kind of "plastic bottle" Jersey has been able to achieve mass production.

It is quite dramatic that the most environmentally friendly "Vu VO" and the most environmentally friendly "plastic bottle Jersey" are in China.

It is understood that the "south of the world cup in South Africa" appeared on the "whu" 90% production from China, but the profit is only 5%.

As for Nike's green jerseys, it is produced by a representative factory in Taiwan. Because the factory itself has been involved in the development of environmental protection materials and has made great efforts in the actual application of the jerseys, the profit rate is much higher than that of the production of "purpura".
