The uniforms have been rolled out following a full trial in 2021 and are made from a blend of plastic bottles and organic cotton, making them 100 per cent sustainable.

Each shirt is made from around seven bottles, which will save thousands of bottles from landfill and reduce the need for energy and resources to manufacture new clothing whilst making Citrus a greener company.
