Ralph Lauren expands Earth Polo offering for environmental impact

Ralph Lauren is expanding its Earth Polo collection for spring. The
polos in this line are created with thread derived from recycled
plastic bottles and dyed in an innovative process that uses zero
water. Each shirt is made from an average of 12 plastic bottles.

The Earth Polo will now be offered in 19 colorways for men, seven
for women, and nine colors for kids, along with printed design
options. The men’s line will also include long sleeve silhouettes.

Ralph Lauren produces the Earth Polo in partnership with First
Mile, an organization that works with entrepreneurs in low-income
communities to collect plastic bottles, which are ultimately made into
fabric. The brand aims to use 170 million recycled plastic bottles in
its product and packaging by 2025.

“Changing the way we innovate, design and produce our products is
the first of many steps we are taking as a Company to be more
sustainable. For us, it all started with the Earth Polo,” David
Lauren, the company’s chief innovation officer, said in a statement
“Plastic waste is a major issue threatening the environment—we want to
be part of the solution and utilize an innovative approach to create
something valuable.”
