Made from 100% recycled polyester, the Eco Tie from Tie & Scarf Company offers retailers, embroiderers and printers a completely sustainable schoolwear option. “It takes two two- litre plastic bottles to produce one tie, and over one year, this will equate to saving thousands of plastic bottles going to landfill sites,” adds the brand. 17.
