American Flora Dance and Yoga Wear
American Flora is a new company that creates boutique high-performance garments for athletic women of all ages. The line of leotards, tops, and bottoms is inspired by the founder’s passion for dance and the beauty of our natural world, so using green, comfortable Repreve was a simple choice. All of the garments are made from super-soft, super-comfortable, high-performance Repreve in a poly/spandex blend. They feature four-way stretch and classic styles with a twist—designed to move. American Flora is made in the United States from 100% U.S. sourced material. In addition, American Flora's line is produced at a contract sewing company that has a new solar panel system. It offsets 15-20% of the electricity that would otherwise have been generated using fossil fuels.

Mantra Scrubs Medical Apparel
Designed by nurses, for nurses, Mantra Scrubs creates fashion-inspired scrubs in fabrics that look great and make the wearer feel good. But they’re not just better looking. Mantra Scrubs contain 50% Repreve recycled fiber, woven with Texas organic cotton, to create a soft, comfortable, durable fabric with the crease-resistance and soil-release properties of polyester. Sustainability also drives company operations, manufacturing processes, and even how scrubs are marketed. The company relies heavily on word-of-mouth, and the scrubs are sold only online. So share the mantra: If every registered nurse in the U.S. replaced one set of scrubs with Mantra Scrubs, 22 million plastic bottles would be diverted from the waste stream. Not your typical scrubs. Not your typical scrub company.
