Leading The Way With Recycled Custom Sportswear
Scimitar were the UK’s first custom sportswear manufacturer to offer recycled, sustainable polyester options.
Back in 2018, we developed a range of six core products that were available to be produced in 100% recycled polyester.
Now, thanks to our ongoing commitment to a sustainable sportswear future, we have extended that number to over 100 products.
From our core range of running vests, running t-shirts and cycling jerseys to the likes of base layers, leggings and shorts, we’re not stopping now. Our Garment Technologists are working hard to continue adding new products to our sustainable range.
All of our Qwick-Dri™ recycled range also benefits from a FREE UPF upgrade, helping protect the skin from dangerous sun rays.
What is scimitar recycled sportswear?
Every single minute, it’s estimated that one million plastic bottles are sold globally.
That’s where we come in with the use of rPET in our custom sportswear.
rPET is the short name for recycled polyethylene tetraphyte (or recycled polyester). It’s created by a factory process of cleaning, shredding and yarning plastic bottles into a workable fabric.
For each recycled custom t-shirt we produce, we re-use six plastic bottles, preventing them from going to landfill or becoming ocean waste.

Differences don’t exist
Recycled sportswear is no different from that of traditional polyester.
The goal was always to ensure that our recycled custom sportswear products look, feel and act exactly the same, and are the same in terms of composition. Couple that with the same comfortable fit and a super-flyweight composition for the UK’s best range of recycled sportswear.
We’re also proud to offer sustainable cotton options for leisurewear and hoodies, as well as our cut & sew ranges. Why would you opt for traditional polyester & cotton options when you can promote, market and wear sportswear made with recycled polyester & sustainable cotton?
