Cap & Gown Commencement 2012
information below.

Eco-Friendly
Caps and Gowns
The Cap and Gown Agency is proud
to continue offering
eco-friendly caps and gowns for
students that are made from 100
percent, post-consumer recycled
plastic bottles. This line of
graduation wear, manufactured by
Oak Hall, is named “GreenWeaver".
The fabric is made from spun
molten plastic pellets and the
result is a fabric so
comfortably soft you have to
feel it to believe it! It takes
an average of 23 bottles to make
each gown.
ASA takes pride in its ongoing
commitment in support of the
University’s sustainability
goals and the continuation of “GreenWeaver"
attire for Yale’s Commencement
2012. In fostering “GreenWeaver
on Yale campus, we are hopeful
that this movement will impact
on other Colleges and
Universities in making a choice
to “go green" on their
campuses. For more
information and details on “GreenWeaver”
attire, please visit the Oak
Hall website at: http://www.oakhalli.com/greenweavermovement.php
You may donate your gown to a
non-profit organization in the
greater New Haven area by
placing it in designated bins at
residential colleges or the
Associated Student Agency
office.
