Under Armour's New Line: UA Green

Companies of all different disciplines look for ways to improve their products and adapt to modern technologies. Sustainable buildings and products are the future and even the most unsuspecting companies are buying in!

Under Armour Performance Apparel has just launched a project line called UA Green. UA Green products are made from recycled plastic bottles. These bottles are first cleaned, crushed, liquified, and then cooled and solidified to create strands of fiber that are knitted together to create this sustainable line of performance apparel.

"Under Armour is committed to building performance gear with a lighter environmental impact... We'll get there with science, passion and innovation and we'll never sacrifice performance.

Step one was to engineer performance fabrics made from recycled materials. We are excited about our first collection of recycled products and we commit to offering more in the future."
