In the effort to remain green on campus, all graduates will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver® regalia. This line of graduation wear is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic water bottles.
Each year in the US more than thirty-five billion plastic water bottles are thrown away, enough to circle the Earth four times. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of twenty-five plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown, you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.
Since 2011, UNC-Chapel Hill has helped to divert OVER 1,732,000 plastic bottles from landfills!
Your regalia is as personal to you as the honor it represents. You deserve to look your best with a gown that proudly reflects your outstanding achievement, so wear it with pride to commemorate your accomplishments!
Order online below or save on shipping costs by stopping by the conGRADulations Fair on March 20th or in-store starting on March 21st through commencement day.
