South Korean football club Jeju United flaunted their blue uniform made from recycled plastic bottles last Sunday, instead of the official orange, at a home game against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors at home.
The football uniforms were a joint effort to recycle plastic team by the team and the fans to open up a new era of eco-friendly practices in football.
Jeju United's program lets participants earn points by exchanging plastic bottles that can be used for various promotional events offered by the team.
The program gathered 19,255 plastic bottles to easily surpass the original goal of 5,000.
Unlike previously recycled uniforms, these were made jointly with the fans, who collected the plastic bottles.
According to a Jeju United team official, their effort will become a model case for a successful sports-based activity with a high social value.
