Planet conscious, performance inspired school and sportswear
INNOTEX PRODUCTS SUPPORT CONSCIOUS CHANGE FOR A BETTER AND CLEANER FUTURE BY USING RECYCLED FABRICS.
WHERE POSSIBLE, WE CAN DIVERT WASTE FROM LANDFILLS AND IMPROVE THE IMPACT WE HAVE ON THE ENVIRONMENT.
Sustainable Uniforms
We’re doing our part for the environment by using recycled plastics ( PET ) to produce materials used in our uniforms. This eco-friendly approach helps us to minimise waste, whilst allowing us to maintain the high standard and quality our uniforms are renowned for.
Through This Process
-
1. Recycled plastics
(typically recycled PET plastic bottles)
-
2. Melted into fibres
-
3. Spun into yarn
-
4. Woven into fabric
Sportswear Ranges
Fabrics used for sportswear are constructed mainly from polyester fibres – and the raw material to produce polyester is PET, the same source material used for constructing plastic bottles.
Production of recycled polyester uses 59% less energy, reduces CO2 emissions by 32%, and of course contributes to a reduction of plastic pollution.

Academic Ranges
Shorts & Trousers
Shorts and trousers now feature 30% Recycled PET plastic. Over the past 2 years Noone has extensively tested the durability of Recycled PET in comparison to virgin polyester. Whilst fibre strength was the same, the pill rating from Recycled PET fabrics was inferior to virgin polyester. Therefore, Noone has adopted a mix of virgin polyester and recycled polyester with 35% viscose and 2 % elastane (for stretch and comfort) to ensure the quality of our shorts and pants achieve the highest quality standards. Our commitment to sustainability will not be at the compromise of quality or durability.
Blazers
Blazers all now feature recycled polyester blazer lining, fusing, buttons, thread, canvas chest piece and wadding. Wool blend fabrics for blazers will now feature recycled polyester from 2023.
Wool & Cotton
Noone remains committed to the use of natural fibres such as wool and cotton. Both of these fibres are bio-degradable and is adopted in many uniform items from blazers, shirts, pullovers, skirts, dresses and shorts / trousers.
