Portland – October 16, 2026 -- The Green Sports Alliance has released its Sustainable Apparel Playbook, a guide that shows sports organizations how to cut environmental impact across the full apparel lifecycle while supporting revenue growth, cultural influence and customer satisfaction.

Case studies cover procurement, end-of-life and fan marketing

The playbook draws on professional and collegiate sports examples across product procurement, end-of-life solutions, community engagement and impact marketing.
