Whether you are a fan of soccer or not, the World Cup of Soccer is a world-wide spectacle for soccer fans around the globe.  This year, Nike takes center stage by providing official uniforms for many of the national teams made from plastic bottles collected in landfills!

It takes 8-10 plastic bottles for each jersey they make and these jerseys are adorned by some of the world’s best athletes, so they need to perform as well as the stars wearing them.  Just imagine, Nike is saving 30% energy in the manufacturing process by using recycled bottles, and are diverting 13 MILLION bottles from landfills (almost 560,000 pounds of waste).

We at Jack Nadel, Intl are very fortunate to be able to offer the same types of fabrics/garments from many of our manufacturing partners.  Whether it is jackets, shirts, or bags, we can all help advertise/promote our client’s branding messages while keeping the Earth a greener place for all! -Paul Navabpour
