Cutting-edge ECO apparel brand Playback Clothing was created by entrepreneur Adam Siskind after he viewed the documentary An Inconvenient Truth. Motivated by the film’s powerful environmental message, Adam Siskind used his expertise in textile manufacturing to create a new way of producing sustainable apparel. The result was Playback Clothing—fashion-forward, comfortable sweatshirts and tees in a full spectrum of colors like soda bottle green and water cooler blue. In particular, Adam Siskind envisioned a production process that would outpace even relatively green clothing made of bamboo or organic cotton. Focusing on recycling cotton scraps and plastic bottles, Adam Siskind and the team at Playback Clothing developed apparel that requires no dyes or additional resources for cultivation. Each Playback Clothing tee is composed of the equivalent of 8.5 PET bottles. Thus far, Adam Siskind and the team at Playback Clothing have redeemed several million tons of material previously destined for landfills. With its unique manufacturing process, Playback Clothing has attracted the attention of media outlets like the Los Angeles Times, EcoStiletto, The Alternative Consumer, and Yahoo! News, which wrote that Playback Clothing is “revolutionizing the look, feel, and standards of ‘green’ apparel forever.” Moreover, Playback Clothing counts Katie Holmes and Adrian Grenier among its fans. Playback Clothing is available online at www.paybackclothing.com and through retailers nationwide. Check out Adam Siskind Playback Clothing.

  • A New Twist on Eco-Friendly Apparel Thanks to PLAYBACK Clothing, Adam Siskind
    August, 2011
    Established by Adam Siskind, PLAYBACK Clothing provides individuals with a sustainable apparel option that offers fashionable, comfortable clothes for the eco-conscious consumer. While many other clothing companies manufacture clothing by using organic and hemp materials, which produces clothes that can be stiff, poorly colored, or expensive, PLAYBACK Clothing’s line brings a new level of quality, color, and flair to the “green” apparel industry.

    The PLAYBACK process to making clothes involves five steps. First, the company collects recyclable materials like scraps of cotton or plastic and glass bottles. Next, the PLAYBACK team sorts these materials according to color so that no dyes will be needed during the manufacturing process. After breaking down the scraps into fiber form, the company spins it into yarn to knit the PLAYBACK Fabric. Finally, the fabric is sewn into fashionably designed T-shirts and sweatshirts. Through the use of its revolutionary PLAYBACK Fabric, PLAYBACK Clothing has made a name for itself as a premier clothier that allows the wearer to look great and help the environment at the same time.

    Several environmentally friendly objectives are met through PLAYBACK Clothing’s manufacturing process. Since PLAYBACK Clothing uses the colors of the original recycled materials to dye the yarn, they have no need for chemical dyes, which can cause irreparable harm to the environment. Using recycled cotton and other textiles, the company also decreases the amount of waste deposited in landfills while diminishing the need for extra land and water for cotton fields.
