Cintas Corporation today announced it is the winner of a 2011
UNIVATOR Award for its EcoGeneration by Cintas™ scrub collection in
the “Eco-Friendly Innovation” category. The UNIVATOR Awards,
sponsored by UniformMarket News, honor the leading ideas,
creations, services and innovators which have influenced the
uniform industry over the past year. This is the third consecutive
year Cintas has won this prestigious award.
"Benefits to the environment notwithstanding, the real test of
any uniform program is measured by the style, fit and comfort of
the garments,” said Rick Levine, editor, UniformMarket News. “In
these areas, Cintas hits a home run.”
The “Eco-Friendly Innovation” award is given to apparel lines
that use progressive methods to make environmentally friendly
clothing. Qualifications for the award are based upon reducing
energy, pollutant and waste during the production process.
EcoGeneration Cintas™ scrubs use recycled plastic bottles
diverted from landfills. The bottles are broken down and woven into
a wearable, comfortable fabric constructed of a recycled
polyester-cotton blend. For every scrub outfit, seven plastic
bottles are saved from landfills.
The healthcare industry has more than 13 million workers, making
the positive environmental impact for this product potentially
huge. Recycling plastic fibers saves 33 percent of the energy
consumed compared to manufacturing virgin fiber and reduces carbon
emissions by 47 percent.
“It is a great honor to be chosen for the UNIVATOR Award,” said
Brent Schafer, Vice President of Healthcare, Cintas. “Our vision to
empower caregivers with innovative solutions is carried out with an
introduction such as the EcoGeneration scrubs an environmentally
responsible garment with excellent wearability.”
