Exeter Launches First 100 percent Recyclable Hi-vis uniforms for City Council Workers

May 8, 2023 | Sustainability

Staff at Exeter City Council Material Reclamation Facility are now wearing 100% recycled high-visibility uniforms. The state-of-the-art PPE clothing range is produced by Envriowear from post-consumer plastic bottles and is also 100% recyclable – an industry first for high-visibility clothing.

Matt Hulland, Resource Recovery Manager for Exeter City Council, said: “Every Envirowear garment is made from 100% recycled material. More importantly, it has been designed to be fully recycled through a mechanical process that produces commercial-grade recycled polyethylene for use in spinning polyester fabric yarn and for injection molding into plastic garment trims.”
