Wild Thang are proud to support BTR Road Runners who organise and stage the Medal Muddle 5K events. The event returned in April after an enforced break, which took place on the Wirral in Hoylake.

 This year round, the profits from the event on the 23^rd of April went towards the Ukrainian Emergency Appeal.

If you did not already know, BTR Road Runners found that there were always surplus t-shirts and medals at the end of races. These would then accumulate and either be thrown out or donated to good causes. Now these surplus items are repurposed, rebranded and then presented to all those that take part in the race.

Not only are the events raising funds for great causes, but also the idea behind the Medal Muddle 5K is truly a great tackle on sustainability and resource management within the race category.

How could Team Wild Thang not want to get involved?

We take you behind the scenes with our Screen Print experts, displaying the free rebranding we provided for the t-shirts used on the day also see below link that highlights all are fascinating branding capabilities we provide at world class Wild Thang.  

As an organisation, we are committed to supporting and encouraging others to create a sustainable future, so we will be continuing to support this great and innovative initiative now and in the future.

Collapsible drinks cup - not only is this a unique product it’s also compact. Next time you are in Starbucks instead of taking a disposable cup simply ask them to fill up your cup. There are quite a few coffee and tea addicts out there so it would not be unusual to have 2 to 3 cups a day and if they use one of the coffee chains that would mean 3 x 365 = 1095 per year! Now that’s a whole lot of disposable cups saved.

CSR

Wild Thang are proud to support BTR Road Runners who organized their first Medal Muddle 5K, which is a community running event, raising £800 for the RNLI whilst welcoming new runners of all abilities and having a positive environmental impact.

Wild Thang Managing Director Andrew Dwerryhouse commented: “When we were first told about the Medal Muddle concept we were so impressed and said straight away that Wild Thang definitely wanted to be involved somehow to support this unique community led 5K series of race events. We have been a supplier to BTR for many years so know the collaboration and partnership can make a real difference so we are genuinely proud to have got involved from the very beginning. As a company it ticked a number of areas from a CSR point of view, supporting a community volunteer led running club and raising much needed money for local charities. But in turn upcycling products to minimise waste. With sustainability being central to our ISO 14001 environmental certification it was a perfect fit to give those t-shirts and medals a new lease of life, making sure they did not get muddled up into having a negative environmental impact”

BTR Race Director Alan Rothwell commented: “We’re delighted to donate past race event medals and T-shirts as part of our commitment to going green and doing our bit for the environment. BTR Road Runners are delighted to have the support of our long running supplier, Wild Thang, it’s fantastic they are involved in this new and innovative initiative which also meets their sustainability standards.”

The next race is taking place on the 28th September 2019 with funds raised this time going to Pawprints Wildlife Rescue Charity.

We are also trying to do our bit so check out the worlds largest biggest T-shirt made from recycled plastic PET bottles.

This giant T-shirt made out of recycled plastic waste from around 200,000 used PET bottles has entered the Guinness Book of World Records. Measuring 97.5m x 70.08m & weighed a whopping 4,000 kg, the T-shirt was constructed in India by the Plastindia Foundation (an apex body which works with companies and government), to create awareness on the need to manage and recycle plastic waste.

The Indian company sourced 200,000 used PET bottles then crushed, recycled and processed them into fibre to create a whopping 4,000 kg of cloth.With public interest in the damage caused by discarded plastic this was a fantastic example of raising awareness by Mumbai-based organisation, Plastindia Foundation. After the record was confirmed and photos taken, the record-breaking tee was taken away to be turned into 10,000 normal sized shirts and distributed to disadvantaged children Please remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise and print advice .
