Seven Plastic Bottles In Every Kidderminster Playing Shirt

 

As part of Kidderminster Harriers 'commitment to sustainability', it's been revealed that there are seven plastic bottles in each of their first team playing shirts.

This from Kidderminster about some of what they have achieved in recent seasons.

'The club’s partnership with Bromsgrove District Council’s Commercial Waste Services has recycled a further 15 tonnes of waste during that period, while we’re proud that 100% of our non-recyclable waste continues to be converted into renewable energy.

Our playing kits, produced by Scimitar, a local manufacturer, are made from 100% recycled polyester. Each playing shirt contains the equivalent of at least seven plastic bottles, helping to divert plastic waste from landfill and our oceans.

The club is taking that commitment further in 2026-27, introducing a default digital version of our Season Ticket for the first time, encoring our supporters to ditch plastic. This has reduced the number of plastic ticket cards produced by over 60%, while the move to a digital-only match day programme will save approximately 200,000 sheets of paper across the season.

The programme will also be free to view, providing an additional saving for supporters while ensuring they can continue to enjoy a key part of the match day experience.'
