That’s this much plastic:
And if you get the matching scrub pants, this much:
How do water bottles turn into super-soft scrub uniforms?
The answer is not magic, it’s science. Here’s how it works:
-
Used plastic bottles are collected for recycling.
-
The bottles are sent to a reclaiming facility and thoroughly cleaned.
-
The bottles are sorted by colour, ground into flakes, tossed in hot air and, at last, melted into a thick liquid.
-
The liquid is passed through plates with tiny holes – sort of like a showerhead.
-
This process turns the liquid into super-fine stands called filaments. Filaments are much thinner than cotton. In fact, each one is around 5x thinner than human hair.
-
The filaments are cut, stretched, aligned, and woven into a soft, cosy polyester fabric that we know you’re going to love.
But that’s not the only way we’ve got Mother Earth’s back
- The fabric is coloured using low-water, eco-friendly dye
- We use carbon-neutral shipping where possible
- Offcuts from our scrubs production process are recycled into scrunchies and scrub caps.
Embroidery
We can embroider a name, logo, or artwork on this product for you. (before you purchase your scrubs) to discuss the design and organize a quote.
