UK firm launches solar and wind energy-made t-shirts

20/12/2011

A London-based apparel brand has launched a range of t-shirts tailored for the leaner builds of cyclists. BRVO t-shirts are manufactured using only solar and wind energy, with minimalistic designs.

 

The firm said: “BRVO has re-engineered the t-shirt for the leaner builds of cyclists and runners, creating a premium quality t-shirt with designs that support the active lifestyle. Our t-shirts are the most sustainable available on the market – we’ve reduced the carbon footprint of a t-shirt from 11kg/t-shirt to 1.1kg/t-shirt. Our t-shirts consist of 100% organic cotton and are manufactured using only wind and solar power. We aim to challenge the major sportswear labels to go-eco, be sustainable.

 

"Our current range includes four of our own designs as well as tribute collection to the late, great Bernard Thompson of British Time Trialling Photography Fame.”

 

The range is currently available online in the UK and BRVO is currently to seeking distributers worldwide.
