Scrubs that support our planet...
Since the launch of the Barco® One brand in 2016, they’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from their customers. Number one on the list of things they love about Barco® One scrubs is the sustainable fabric that incorporates five recycled plastic bottles in each garment.
Our company has collectively recycled over 40 million plastic bottles between two of our top selling sustainable brands: Barco® One which is curated from 5-recycled plastic bottles and SkechersTM by Barco® brand of scrubs, which
incorporates 7-recycled plastic bottles per garment.
If those bottles were lined up, they would stretch approximately 4,785 miles – that is longer than the distance between John O’Groats to Lands End ‘seven’ times over!
Plastic has been found in the stomachs of almost all marine species including fish, birds, whales, dolphins, seals and turtles*
