Alo has a strong commitment to being green,continuously seeking and adopting environmentally responsible practices including:

• using eco-friendly materials such as recycled poly and bamboo in its fabric mix in several pieces;
• printing catalogues on post-consumer recycled paper;
• producing hangtags from recycled materials;
• having a paperless warehouse facility;
• company vehicles that use alternative fuel sources, and
• using only environmentally friendly solvents in its facilities.

Alo's headquarters are also solar powered.

This year's hit is the sustainable recycled Tee W1065 in recycled polyester and organic cotton. The polyester is made from plastic bottles. The cotton is certified and made from 100% organic natural fibres.

Choosing this shirt for a campaign makes a clear, environmental statement. Produced with Dri-Release fabrication for dry wicking capabilities with no treatments added this is a great basic T shirt for women on and off the court.

Bamboo is considered to be the most sustainable of all natural fibres. It is machine-washable, absorbent, breathable, naturally anti-microbial and will not hold odour.

Bamboo is also extremely fast growing, requiring no chemicals or  fertilisers to yield large crops.

These are some of the reasons why Alo has adopted this diverse and super soft fabric for garments such as the sustainable bamboo tank top W2006, the bamboo short sleeve tee W1004, and the bamboo long sleeve tee W3004.

The full Alo product line is available exclusively through UKL Ltd. For more information visit www.aloclothing.com or www.uklonline.co.uk
