Babson College grads to don “green” caps and gowns

By bbrown | Published: February 2, 2010

headerlogoBabson College’s school colors are green and white, and 2010 grads will emphasize the green when they wear caps and gowns made from recycled bottles. Babson says the fabric is spun from molten plastic pellets and that each gown is made from about 23 bottles. Biodegradable dishes and cups, as well as recycled paper for diplomas and programs will add to the school’s environmental sustainability efforts.
