Regalia Recycling
Did you know? You can recycle your regalia after graduation at any of the University Stores, April 30 -May 31!
Bachelor’s and master’s regalia from the University Store is made from 100% post-consumer recycled PET (the most common plastic material used in products like plastic bottles, food containers, and clothing fiber)! Pitt buys its regalia from Oak Hall, which uses recycled PET to reduce manufacturing emissions by 55% and 50% fewer petroleum products than traditional polyester.
If you’re not planning on keeping your cap and gown as a keepsake, please recycle your regalia after graduation at any of the University Stores, April 30 through May 31 (just look for the regalia recycling collection bins)! Caps and gowns collected through the program are recycled into rugs and animal bedding.
