Mindful of the environmental challenges facing the world today, high-performance golf apparel brand Galvin Green is advancing its industry-leading sustainability credentials with the creation of its new exclusive UpCycle Edition
Crafted using surplus fabric from its main production runs, the pioneering range is designed to help reduce unwanted waste and offer golfers peace of mind knowing that the clothing helps minimize the social and environmental impact often associated with manufacturing.
“We strive to never compromise in all of our practices as a responsible and sustainable organization, which is the key driving force in our latest UpCycle Edition,” said CEO Nicholai Stein. “We feel the responsibility to play our part in making a difference for the future and are confident that we are pushing the boundaries by using perfectly fine fabric that would ordinarily go to waste in a dedicated collection for serious golfers,” he added.
Building on its success in winning the global 2021 Sports Technology Award for Sustainability, the Swedish brand recently joined forces with the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf as an Innovation Partner, in a move to speed up the progress of sustainability in and through golf on a global scale. The UpCycle Edition merges seamlessly with the core collection to see the brand boast the greatest depth of sustainable products on the market.
