FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Uniform Advantage (UA), a multi-channel retailer of uniforms for healthcare and hospitality, introduces Easy STRETCH EcoGrid, sustainable scrubs inspired by the Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
"UA's commitment to sustainability is unmatched in the medical apparel world," said David Hawker, VP of Product Development and Design. "EcoGrid is our third eco-friendly collection, underscoring our commitment to creating scrubs that look good, feel good and do good."
The exclusive EcoGrid fabric features recycled polyester, plus spandex for easy-moving 4-way stretch.
"We've committed to using polyester that is 100% recycled for all our sustainable collections," said Hawker. "We build on that with zippers, elastics and drawcords that are made of recycled fiber too."
The fabric is super light, with advanced wicking properties and a grid-like texture for breathability. All of which makes it ideal for the staff at Loggerhead Marinelife Center.
"We're out in the heat almost all day, every day," said veterinary technician Marika Weber. "Having something that dries really quick and is also very light is really important for us."
To support Loggerhead's dedication to sea turtle and ocean conservation, Uniform Advantage has committed to donating $15,000 to the Marinelife Center, and will be the organization's official uniform provider through 2026.
"We couldn't be prouder to champion the conservation efforts of Loggerhead Marinelife Center," said UA CEO Susan Masimore. "We share a commitment to the wellness of the oceans and those who sustain it ? and we applaud their work."
