Earth Day 2018: Haggar Helping The Environment One Pair Of Pants At A Time


DALLAS, April 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The nation's No. 1-selling dress pant brand1 has given new life to more than 130 million recycled plastic water bottles through Earth Day 2018 ? and counting. For nearly a decade, Haggar Clothing Co. has partnered with Unifi, Inc. to produce its E-CLOtm line, which consists of pant styles that use Unifi's REPREVE® fibers made of recycled water bottles.

The menswear brand's latest style, the Premium Comfort Dress Pant, also made with sustainable REPREVE® fiber, saves about two and a half 16-ounce water bottles per pant from going into landfills. It represents Haggar's ongoing efforts to provide consumers with an eco-friendly choice that is stylish and comfortable, with the innovative design features the brand is known for.

"As we celebrate Earth Day, we like to stop and think about the positive impact our partnership with Unifi has made on the environment," said Haggar Chief Sourcing and Merchandising Officer Tony Anzovino. "Our Premium Comfort and E-CLO lines give our customers a way to support sustainability with their purchase of pants that look great, feel great, and are offered at an exceptional value."

Unifi recently recognized Haggar for its commitment to prioritizing environmental conservation with its inaugural REPREVE® Champions of Sustainability award. The award placed Haggar alongside top brands and retailers including NIKE, Target and JCPenney, honoring their contribution to Unifi's milestone of recycling more than 10 billion plastic bottles to date.
