In fact, let\u2019s be honest, if you\u2019re a football fan there\u2019s probably an equal chance you\u2019ve owned one yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replica football shirts are big business; shirts account for the largest part of a football sportswear market which is estimated to be worth almost a hundred billion dollars each season*. The Premier League alone is responsible for tens of millions of replica shirts being sold worldwide every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the vast majority of these \u2013 usually out of date at the end of a single season \u2013 are discarded, sold or given away. One of the problems is that there isn\u2019t much you can do with an out-of-date football shirt, although the kids of former Stockport County, Wolves and Tranmere full back, and current Wales physio, Sean Connelly, had a brainwave for his 50<sup>th<\/sup> birthday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><div class=\"embed-twitter\"><blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Had a great 50th birthday today topped off with present from the girls !!

And if you\u2019ve got enough shirts to do this, and aren\u2019t a former pro, you\u2019re probably a collector who\u2019s more likely to frame them instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK disposes of one million tonnes of textiles every year, 300,000 tonnes of which end up in landfill or incineration. Some figures suggest 10% of global CO2 emissions comes from the fashion industry, and the football sector is a huge contributor to this. So what to do with the majority of shirts that aren\u2019t going to end up in a frame (or as an armchair)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new partnership between the University and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raeburndesign.co.uk\/\">R\u00c6BURN Design<\/a> \u2013 a leading sustainable fashion studio \u2013 is looking to reduce the impact of textile waste in the football industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KIT:BAG by R\u00c6BURN, will work with local sportswear suppliers and the local community to transform surplus football shirts into unique reusable tote bags, while educating them of the environmental impacts of textile waste and how we can extend the life of our garments. It aims to provide a fun, responsible way to keep kits in circulation, while shining a light on the large-scale problem in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"video-container\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iHIbkMh-DnE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay Pressdee is a Senior Lecturer in Sustainable Fashion Marketing &amp; Branding Communication in the Department of Materials. She said \u201cThis project focuses on the overlooked area of sportswear; how we can extend the life of these polyester garments and avoid them going into landfill or incineration, through the key principle of community education. The initiative aligns with the University&#8217;s objectives of promoting sustainability and social responsibility and by collaborating with Raeburn Design, which follows the REMADE sustainable ethos, we have an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and address this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christopher Raeburn is Creative Director at R\u00c6BURN. He said \u201cAs our business has evolved, we\u2019ve tried, tested and proven our \u2018Remade, Reduced, Recycled\u2019 motif can be scaled and translated into other industries outside of fashion, such as architecture, furniture design, film and cultural placemaking. KIT:BAG by RAEBURN marks our newest venture: bringing circular design solutions to the sports industry. We\u2019re excited to have the University on board as our research partner for this project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following an official launch in London, it\u2019s intended to extend the project to Manchester, where the local community will be invited to various workshops to have a go at making their own reusable bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So perhaps the next kit you buy, rather than ending up in a box in the loft, used as a duster, or even turned into an armchair, might instead end up as a bag that helps teach children about the environmental impacts of textile waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we\u2019ll return to this topic in future editions (any excuse to post photos of football shirts, eh?).
