Made entirely from recycled plastic bottles collected by First Mile, the new Ralph Lauren polo shirts have already been added to our green wish list. Available in a new, broad color palette, this year with 19 colors for men, 7 colors for women and 9 colors for children, each polo shirt is dyed using a waterless carbon process. And the good news is that by 2025, Ralph Lauren plans to use 170 million recycled plastic bottles in their products and packaging, and to reduce their use of water in their manufacturing processes by 20%. A good reason to treat yourself to this timeless piece while at the same time preserving the planet a little more. 1972 marked the opening of Ralph Lauren’s store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California, his first freestanding store.
