Green threads for McDonald’s service crew in London

Soon, 2,000 employees of the four McDonald’s Olympic Park branches will be wearing eco-friendly uniforms. The uniforms were designed by husband-and-wife tandem Wayne and Gerardine Hemingway, who partnered with Worn Again, and the clothes have been described variously as “mod” and “Mad Men-inspired.” The uniforms will enter a “closed loop,” which means that any old or damaged clothing will be reused instead of discarded. McDonald’s employees will also be wearing recyclable aprons made from recycled plastic.
