Hanes Launches U.S.-Grown
Cotton Initiative
HANESBRANDS, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, has launched a
U.S.-grown cotton initiative to raise sustainability awareness among
printers and promotional-products distributors (PPDs). As part of the
launch, the printwear group also announced that its Hanes Beefy-T
is now being manufactured from 100% U.S.-grown cotton.
" Sustainability and responsible sourcing are important considerations
for customers today, " says Michael Johnson, director of marketing
for Hanes activewear. " We want printers and PPDs to know they
can trust what they are buying from Hanes, and we want them to
be able to talk confidently about sustainability with their customers.
Moving the iconic Hanes Beefy-T, which was created for the printwear
industry more than 40 years ago, to 100% U.S.-grown cotton was
a natural next step in our sustainability journey. And coupled with
innovations such as our 'Clean Canvas' technology, which minimizes
pretreatment to produce sharper prints with less bleeding, this also
makes our Beefy-T the best choice available. "
According to the National Cotton Council of America, U.S. farmers
have made significant strides in growing sustainable cotton crops
by reducing the amount of land needed to produce cotton yields by
almost 50%; diminishing soil erosion by 35%; decreasing water use by
more than 50%; cutting energy use by more than 50%; and lowering
greenhouse gas emissions by 40%.
