Performance matters, but so does responsibility. Sportswear has an environmental footprint,
and at Colaro Sports we’re committed to reducing it step by step – without compromising how
our gear performs on the field.
Smarter fabric choices
We are gradually integrating more sustainable materials into our lines, including:
- Recycled polyester yarns made from post-consumer plastic bottles.
- Fabrics sourced from mills with stronger environmental standards.
- Blends that maintain high performance while improving sustainability metrics.
More efficient cutting and pattern optimization
Fabric waste is a hidden problem in apparel production. We address it by:
- Using digital pattern tools to arrange pieces more efficiently.
- Reducing offcuts and leftover strips during cutting.
- Standardizing certain panels when possible without sacrificing fit.
Less waste at the cutting table means less textile going to landfill.
Durability as a form of sustainability
One of the best ways to reduce waste is to make products that last longer. We design uniforms
to handle multiple seasons, not just a few games.
That includes:
- Reinforced seams and high-quality stitching.
- Color-fast prints that survive frequent washing.
- Fabrics that keep their structure over time.
Smarter production planning
Behind the scenes, we keep improving how we produce:
- Planning batches to reduce ink and material waste.
- Optimizing machine usage to save energy.
- Aligning color runs to reduce setup and cleaning waste.
Packaging and shipping with less impact
Packaging and logistics are another opportunity to improve:
- Leaner packaging without unnecessary plastic layers.
- Bulk packing for team orders where appropriate.
- More efficient shipping plans to avoid fragmented shipments.
A long-term commitment
We’re honest about the journey – there’s always more to do. But every season we move another
step forward. For teams that care about both performance and the planet, Colaro Sports is
working to be a partner you can feel good about.
