Patrick Grant Instagram – Did you ever stop to think what your sports clothes are made from? Well the truth is, your sports clothes are made of PLASTIC.
The manufacture of the synthetic materials used in modern athletic clothing uses tens of millions of barrels of oil each year. It is highly polluting and has a huge carbon footprint. Discarded synthetic sports clothes are a massive contributor to the growing global problem of non-biodegradable clothing waste, and to the vast quantity of ocean microplastics, over a third of which is plastic fibres from our clothing.
This is why I am so proud to launch Community Clothing Organic Athletic, our range of 100% plastic free sportswear. It represents radically different thinking in the world of performance sportswear, made from innovative 100% plant-based textile technology, it is high performance, but crucially 100% organic, natural and biodegradable!
It has taken us 5 years to develop, and it has been quite a mission. Every tiny bit of every garment has had to be thought about afresh, 7 factories, 6 in the UK and 1 in Austria, have had to take a leap of faith and join us in this, but it has been so worth it. This is sportswear for people who love the planet.
I really hope you like it.
PS A huge thank to @clairebensondance and her amazing crew in Bournemouth for bringing all the good vibes to the video we made. That’s some of them in the pictures, you can see them all in the full film on the @community_clothing website, the link is in my bio.
