Karuta Sportswear has partnered with Lockerstash
Lockerstash is one of the first ever sustainable sportswear charities, spreading themselves across all grassroots sport to educate clubs, charities, sports manufacturers and schools about environmental issues surrounding producing new sportswear and sports equipment. They engage clubs in signing the Lockerstash Sustainability Acknowledgement Agreement, getting clubs to work alongside them to combat the problem as a whole helping whilst helping them offset their own environmental issues.
What started out as just buying, selling and trading kit has grown to now include many sports. They re-sell at an affordable price via social media platforms along with the pop up shops they take around the country to festivals, training (senior, ladies and junior) and games. Profits go back into grassroots sport through kit and player sponsorship, and a newly introduced individual bursary style sponsorship for 10 – 19yr olds. In addition they use some of the garments and material to engage with individuals and retirement and residential homes to make new items such as glove puppets and hats.
At Karuta we are committed to working with Lockerstash by giving them all our old samples and stock. We unlike other sportswear providers do not send any garments to landfill. Karuta is also very proud to offer football kits and some training wear made from fully recyclable material. We are working with our manufacturing partners to increase our usage of recycled material.
