Sustainable tennis tops used Meryl

30/08/2019
Catalonia-baed yarn and fabric producer Nylstar has contributed yarns under its Meryl brand to a project involving adidas by Stella McCartney to develop tennis apparel based on sustainable yarns.

Athletes including Garbiñe Muguruza and Kristina Mladenovic have collaborated on this project. Tops worn by the players during Wimbledon 2019 were made with Meryl sustainable yarns. 

Arguments Nylstar uses when presenting Meryl as a sustainable yarn include the ease-of-care of the garments manufacturers can produce and the low volumes of water used to make the yarns compared to the volume used in the cotton supply chain.
