In the effort to remain green on campus, all students will be wearing regalia made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles! This line of graduation wear - called GreenWeaver® - is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets.
With some 60 million plastic bottles going into U.S. landfills every day, Temple is making sure fewer of those bottles will be choking our landfills by turning them into keepsakes. For every Temple student walking at commencement, an average of 25 plastic bottles will be used to produce your cap and gown.
Since 2010, Temple University has helped to divert OVER 1,323,350 plastic bottles from landfills!
