Making a Difference One Gown at a Time

Every year in America, 38 million plastic bottles end up in a landfill from bottled water, not including soda. It is estimated that 80% of plastic bottles are not recycled and can take up to 700 years to begin composting. Herff Jones wants to do our part in sustainability efforts and one way is to offer the most eco-friendly gown programs in the industry. We have the highest standard of sustainable fabrics with our rental gown option, EarthGrad™ and our keeper gown option, Renew.
