The initiative is launching side-by-side with an Earth Dye limited-edition collection that uses Earth-friendly dyes upcycled from the waste of oranges, beets and saw palmetto trees. Both are part of Lululemon s Be Planet pillar, which focuses on making products that are better in every way for people and the planet, according to a release.
