Highcross champions sustainability with new look uniform

As part of the rebrand launch, Highcross Leicester has unveiled a fresh new look — not just for the centre itself, but also for the team.

The uniforms are made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, marking a significant step towards Highcross’ commitment to environmental sustainability.

With over 1,000 uniform items being replaced, more than 5,000 post-consumer plastic bottles have been repurposed into the fabric of these new uniforms, reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy.

The uniform production was powered by solar energy minimising carbon emissions and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

Embroidered logos have been crafted with recycled threads, ensuring even the smallest details contribute to a more sustainable future.

The old uniforms will be recycled to create new products, to ensure sustainability and reduction of waste.

“At Highcross we are dedicated to improving our sustainable practices,” said Michelle Menezes, Centre Director. “By choosing recycled materials for our new uniforms, we are taking a proactive step in protecting our planet and supporting a better sustainable use of resources.”
