Recycled Launderable Tuxes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Cintas Corp's Washable Tuxedo is Incredibly Eco-Friendly

— January 31, 2011 — Eco
Until now, men around the world had to get their special suits dry-cleaned instead of laundering them themselves, but thanks to the washable tuxedo, that might all change. Considering how long the tux has been around, I'm surprised it took this long to create a machine-washable version.

Developed by Cintas Corp., the washable tuxedo is also eco-friendly, as it's made partially from recycled plastic bottles. It won the IHMRS Editors’ Choice Award for Green Guest Amenities.

1. Washable Tuxedos - The trend of creating machine-washable tuxedos presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the menswear industry, allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance.
2. Eco-friendly Fashion - The trend of using recycled materials in fashion, such as converting plastic bottles into fabric for tuxedos, opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in sustainable clothing production.
3. Green Guest Amenities - The trend of incorporating environmentally-friendly products, like washable tuxedos, in hospitality industries creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in sustainable guest amenities.
