HanesBrands Invests In A New Generation Of High School Athletes

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — December 12, 2019 — Whether on field or online, HanesBrands believes every high school athlete has the heart of a champion. And as the esports season officially kicks off in high schools across the country, the company’s Champion brand will be supporting the sport’s diverse and growing number of participants.

Champion is the uniform and fanwear provider of PlayVS, the official platform for high school esports competition. The inclusive nature of esports aligns closely with the core values of the brand and is one of many reasons HanesBrands is investing in the space.

“Esports is a co-ed, no-cut sport with no limits to how many teams can form at the varsity level and no need for students and schools to travel for matches, allowing an opportunity for anyone to be an athlete,” said Tyler Lewison, general manager of teamwear for the company.

“We have aligned with high school esports because it has long followed the mantra that anyone can be a champion and, for that reason, there is also tremendous growth potential,” he added.

According to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), which partners with PlayVS, 16 states are now involved in official esports at the high school level, up from eight states that participated during the spring 2019 season. The size of average teams for participating schools is also growing to a projected 13 players per team this season — and high schools can field multiple teams in esports.

“Through esports, students are exposed to incredible opportunities for growth and learning, including improved communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity skills,” said Mark Koski, CEO of the NFHS Network. “High school athletes who wouldn’t typically consider playing traditional team sports can experience the same benefits of camaraderie, character development and teamwork through esports.”

PlayVS reports that 42 percent of participating student athletes from its first season (fall 2018) cited esports as their first introduction to extracurricular high school activities. Further, the organization found that 84 percent of players who participated in esports reported finding a community with which they could connect.

Uniforms contribute to the team dynamic, but also are an important aspect of bringing more mainstream acceptance to esports.

“Team jerseys and other apparel provide cohesion and a sense of belonging,” Lewison said. “We help these players come together and feel pride in their team, which amplifies the benefits. And having a large, popular brand support esports definitely elevates the growing sport.”

When teams take the controls for this fall season, many will be wearing a new esports jersey designed specifically for the special needs of gamers. The Champion UltraFuse performance shirt features underarm gussets for cooling and lightweight materials that move moisture away from the body to keep players fresh.

In addition to jerseys, Champion offers a complete range of team-branded apparel from T-shirts to hoodies to fleeces and more.

The Champion brand has built a strong presence in esports competitive team play, currently outfitting hundreds of teams at the high school, collegiate and professional levels. During the past year, the brand has made a splash across the esports industry, including:

Striking an exclusive sponsorship agreement with Robert Morris University, a pioneer in the collegiate esports space, to be the official apparel sponsor for the university’s 2019-20 esports competition season.

Becoming one of the first apparel brands to sign a multiyear apparel deal in esports with Dignitas, owned by the Philadelphia 76ers, to supply men’s and women’s apparel, including official team jerseys and casual and athletic wear.

Entering a multiyear partnership with the NBA2K League, a joint venture between the NBA and Take-Two Interactive, to serve as the league’s official outfitter.

Launching a new line of apparel in Foot Locker stores for five professional esports teams, including Counter Logic Gaming, Dignitas, OpTic Gaming, Renegades and Spacestation Gaming, covering a wide spectrum of games and fans.

Partnering with Faze Clan on limited-edition, online apparel drops that typically sell out in minutes.

Phelps Uniform Specialists Achieves Clean Green Certification

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — December 12, 2019 — Phelps Uniform Specialists recently affirmed thitseir commitment to environmental stewardship by achieving TRSA’s Clean Green Certification. Phelps Uniform Specialists is located in Muscatine, Iowa, and is a family owned and operated laundry serving uniform and facilities services customers in Iowa and Illinois. The Clean Green certification reflects the company’s dedication to operational efficiency and sustainability. Linen, uniform and facility services companies receive this distinction by adhering to TRSA-designated water and energy use thresholds and deploying best management practices (BMPs) consistent with the ASTM International environmental laundering standard.

Phelps Uniform Specialists’ customers can be assured their reusable healthcare textiles are washed, dried and finished with processes that maximize sustainability and reduce greenhouse emissions. Clean Green certified operations demonstrate significant commitment to conservation and green operations through these BMPs:

  • Recovering heat from drained hot water and heat dispersed from the process of warming water;
  • Recapturing drained water from rinses for reuse;
  • Using environmentally friendly detergents;
  • Removing solids and liquids from wastewater;
  • Solar energy and energy-efficient lighting;
  • Recycling programs;
  • Re-routing trucks to save vehicle fuel; and
  • Spill prevention plans.

The Clean Green certification is valid for three years at a time. TRSA inspects laundry facilities seeking certification and approves documentation of their water and energy use and BMP deployment through production reports they submit to auditors during the inspections. TRSA’s certification management protocol includes auditor training by the association’s inspection program administrator.

Clean Green aligns with the ASTM International standard, Guide for Sustainable Laundry Practices, which recognizes key criteria for the certification as universal indicators of maximum sustainability in commercial laundry work. ASTM’s review of TRSA BMPs verified these as the most effective and practical techniques for a laundry to achieve green objectives.

TRSA members prompted development of the standard, which was vetted in the sustainability subcommittee of the ASTM Committee on Textiles. Top technical experts, scientists and environmental professionals from outside the linen, uniform and facility services industry reviewed the BMPs. ASTM is the global leader in developing and delivering voluntary consensus standards unparalleled in building consumer confidence in product and service quality.

“I applaud Phelps Uniform Specialists for their sustainability efforts and maintaining the highest standards in their production and delivery operations,” said Joseph Ricci, TRSA president and CEO. “Meeting all the criteria for certification is not easy, but the company is committed to industry-leading processes and technologies.”

Panda Biotech Plans The Largest Industrial Hemp Processing Facility For Fiber And Cellulose In The United States

DALLAS/LUBBOCK, TEXAS — December 10, 2019 — Dallas-based Panda Biotech today announced it is developing its first industrial hemp processing facility to produce high-quality, textile-grade fiber and premium cellulose. The “Panda High Plains Hemp Gin,” to be located in Lubbock County, Texas, is expected to be the largest hemp decortication center in the United States and one of the largest in the world.

Panda Biotech plans on deploying the most technologically advanced, highest capacity and first-of-its-kind industrial hemp decorticating equipment ever used to separate the fiber and cellulose from the stalk. The Panda Biotech Hemp Gins™ will be based on smaller versions of proven decortication technology that have been used throughout Asia and Europe for decades.

To ensure the highest quality fiber, the company will only process hemp stalks that are harvested prior to the maturation of the seed and flower, which are the parts of the plant used in CBD products.

Panda Biotech has also secured the rights to purchase a 255,000 square foot processing facility in Shallowater, Texas, in the heart of cotton country. More than 130,000 tons of Texas-grown industrial hemp is expected to be processed annually into textile fiber and cellulose.

In the lead up to today’s announcement, Panda Biotech has engaged key stakeholders in the Texas High Plains region including the local farming community, academic institutions and elected officials. Panda Biotech is also establishing business relationships with large potential off-takers for the fiber and cellulose to be produced at its Texas facility. In addition, the company is assembling a “first in class” advisory board composed of some of the top industrial hemp, textile and cellulose experts in the nation as well as agronomists experienced in the seeding, cultivation and harvesting of industrial hemp.

“After more than a year of due diligence — which has included an analysis of the hemp fiber and cellulose industries in the People’s Republic of China, various European countries and Canada — we have concluded that the processing of hemp stalk for industrial uses will be the next multi-billion-dollar business in the United States,” said Scott Evans, executive vice president of Panda Biotech. “Hemp fiber and cellulose will help manufacturers meet the needs of today’s eco-conscious consumers who increasingly require environmentally friendly products and services. As a result, hemp will be a game changer for both agriculture and industry for generations to come.”

Formation and growth of the industrial hemp industry

The U.S. hemp industry was made possible due to the passage of the federal Hemp Farming Act of 2018. Panda Biotech was subsequently formed after the provisions of the Act were incorporated in the 2018 U.S. Farm Bill that was signed into law by President Trump on Dec. 20, 2018. Both chambers of the Texas state legislature unanimously passed House Bill 1325, that was signed into law on June 10, 2019, by Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The law authorizes the production and manufacture of industrial hemp crops in the State of Texas pending final approval of Texas’ hemp regulations by the USDA which is expected in the coming weeks. The law ensures Texas farmers are able to participate in a rapidly growing industry with a new viable crop option that should also be a boon to rural economies.

The global industrial hemp market is projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 2019 to $32 billion by 2022.

Benefits of industrial hemp fiber and cellulose

Industrial hemp used for manufacturing applications is highly valued for its natural durability, rapid growth and environmental sustainability. The processed fiber and cellulose from industrial hemp can be used in the production of a multitude of products including textiles, a wide array of building materials, paper products, automobile composites, nanomaterials, bio-plastics and finishing products such as caulking, sealants, varnishes and paints. In addition, research indicates that hemp-based supercapacitors offer a less expensive alternative to materials currently used in rechargeable batteries for applications such as smartphones and electric cars. As a result, industrial hemp is poised to transform numerous multi-billion-dollar industries.
