Ipswich Town reveal new away kit made with recycled plastic
Ipswich Town have revealed their most sustainable kit ever.
The club's new white Adidas away strip has been made with recycled plastic which has been collected from beaches before it reaches the oceans.
The German sportswear giant has come up with a new fabric containing Parley marine waste and is hoping to replace all plastics and polyester in its products with sustainable materials by 2024.
Ipswich director of retail, Lee Hyde, said: "With our fine county of Suffolk having such an expansive coastline, it's key that we look to endorse and support the outstanding work which adidas and Parley For The Oceans are carrying out.
"The global impact that this sustainable manufacturing process could have on the environment is monumental. Keeping our areas of outstanding beauty clean and waste-free is something we should all strive to achieve.
“Choosing a Primeblue playing kit which is made with Parley Ocean plastic® enables the Club to play a very small part in assisting the efforts to clean up our oceans and promote a core focus on sustainability and recycling.”
Ipswich are facing up to another season in the third tier after the League One season was cancelled in June because of the coronavirus pandemic.
