wagamama has announced it’s partnering with materials science company PANGAIA to launch a “slow fashion” uniform collaboration to turn old t-shirts into a “fully circular” line of hoodies.
wagamama is a British restaurant chain, serving Asian food based on Japanese cuisine. The chain has previously committed to serving a 50% plant-based menu and implementing “more sustainable” packaging.
The collaboration between wagamama and PANGAIA repurposes old employee uniforms into a collection of hoodies, available to both wagamama team members and customers in 2024.
All team members have been encouraged to return their wagamama t-shirts, which will then be repurposed into the new hoodies to “help promote” the circular economy.
