George at Asda commits to recycled polyester

LEEDS – George, the fashion and homewares arm of the supermarket Asda, has pledged to use only  recycled polyester in its collections by 2025. The brand, which is the second largest clothing retailer in the UK, has also announced plans to further increase transparency around its supply chain by publishing a list of its second-tier apparel factories – those typically dyeing, printing and finishing garments – on its website, joining its existing list of first tier factories, where clothes are cut, sewn and trimmed.
