The thumbnail:  PlayBack Clothing makes great looking and great-wearing tees, sweatshirts and hoodies, and they’re all made from recycled post industrial materials.  Look a little deeper and you’ll find a company that’s truly serious about sustainability, from the extraction of their product’s raw materials to the process of shipping, dying, and ultimately, the disposal of their duds.

PlayBack’s’s recycled cotton t-shirts and sweatshirts are made from post-industrial cotton scraps, and plastic and glass bottles.  They sort the material by color and then brake it down into fiber form which is paired with other fibers, (recycled cotton or polyester, depending on what they started with), to add softness and durability.  The fibers are then re-spun into yarn and knitted into PlayBack t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies.

The company emphasizes that they make real green clothes for real green people, affordably priced, sustainably made and stylishly worn.  As we like to say, “it’s a lifestyle thing.”  Prices range from a very reasonable $20 to $55 @ playbackclothing.com
