Pieces from Primark s new collection
On Monday, fast-fashion giant Primark rolled out a new sustainable women’s leisurewear collection. Every hoodie, T-shirt and pair of leggings in the eight-piece range is made using 15-25 percent recycled cotton.
The new Primark Cares collection is certified by Recover, a Spanish material sciences company that cuts and shreds fabric previously thought of as waste product into clothing-grade fibre. Other fabrics used include sustainable cotton, organic cotton and polyester.
“At Primark, we believe that fashion should be more sustainable but that this shouldn’t come at a higher price,” Primark Cares Director Lynne Walker said in a press release. Prices are consistent with the rest of Primark’s offering, ranging from £3.50 to £12.
