BEAVERTON - Sportswear giant Nike has launched a new way of making apparel which it claims reduces carbon footprint by an average of 75 per cent compared to a traditional knit fleece.
Nike Forward - billed as the company's most significant apparel innovation since Dri-Fit - saves energy by requiring fewer production steps than traditional Nike knits or wovens.
The brand is to launch a grey hoodie on 15th September as the first product made with the process which it says "revolutionises apparel creation by hacking punch-needle machines".
