These Nike Soccer Uniforms are Made From 13 Water Bottles

Since 2010, Nike has been pushing its soccer uniforms made of recycled materials. Now they have a cool video to show how the uniforms are made.

In the 2010 World Cup, the nine teams sponsored by Nike wore uniforms made from recycled materials, including the U.S. national team and Brazil’s national team. The uniforms will make another world-wide appearance at the UEFA European football championship in June.

The uniforms are made with 13 plastic bottles, the shorts being made of 100 percent recycled polyester and the jerseys 96 percent recycled polyester.

Nike Football estimated over 115 million recycled bottles were used in its clothing line since 2010.

Under Armor and Coca Cola also have clothing with the same concept of being environmentally friendly, Coca Cola’s being dated back to 2007 when its Drink2Wear line hit the market.

The video shows several clips of the recycling process with Dutch striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar dribbling a soccer ball throughout the video.

Could bottle-made clothing catch-on and expand through all clothing lines?
