Yes. I found several suppliers that offer recycled-material polos with custom embroidery, including options suited to corporate events, golf outings, trade shows, and staff uniforms.
Strong options
CustomInk — Swannies Tanner Recycled Performance Polo
100% REPREVE recycled polyester, with embroidery, a 6-piece minimum, and corporate-event positioning.
— C-FREE Polo

Sports Unlimited — Cutter & Buck Virtue Eco Pique

Kodiak Wholesale — adidas Lightweight Performance Polo100% recycled polyester, embroidery available, 6-piece minimum, and designed specifically for businesses, employees, schools, and events.
Arklavo — adidas Space-Dyed Polo100% recycled polyester, custom embroidery, no minimum, and free digital proofing. It supports left-chest or left-sleeve embroidery.
GOEX Apparel — Unisex Polyester Polo
Made entirely from REPREVE recycled polyester and explicitly designed to accept embroidery. The current listed price is $28 for the displayed configuration.
A few polished branded choices
If the event is fairly executive/client-facing, there are also recycled-material branded polos from Cutter & Buck, adidas, Under Armour, Nike, and The North Face available through corporate apparel suppliers. For example, the Cutter & Buck Virtue Eco is a recycled polo, while the Nike Victory Solid is 100% recycled polyester.
For large corporate events, I'd compare suppliers on four things beyond price: minimum quantity, embroidery setup fees, delivery deadline, and sustainability certification (particularly GRS or equivalent). A recycled-polyester claim by itself doesn't necessarily tell you how the material was sourced or what other environmental standards the garment meets.
If you tell me your quantity, target price per polo, event date, and whether you need men's/women's/unisex sizing, I can narrow this to the most suitable 5–6 suppliers and compare them.
Several reputable promotional and corporate apparel suppliers specialize in eco-friendly, recycled-material polos with custom logo embroidery.
Many feature retail-name brands like Cutter & Buck (Virtue Eco Pique lines) and OGIO (Regain carbon-neutral performance lines).[1][2]
Top suppliers providing these options include:
LogoSportswear : Offers custom embroidery on retail-grade sustainable options like the Cutter & Buck Virtue Eco Pique (crafted from recycled polyester and spandex with moisture-wicking properties).[1]
ePromos : Features a broad catalog of eco-conscious corporate merchandise, including carbon-neutral OGIO Regain polos and Cutter & Buck recycled eco-polos configured for custom thread embroidery.[1][2]
Totally Promotional : Provides custom embroidery packages for branded events, featuring name-brand recycled stretch and pique corporate polos with flexible order quantities.[1]
4AllPromos : Supplies Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified eco-polos made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, inclusive of custom chest embroidery options.[1]
If you can share your approximate order quantity, event date , and preferred shirt style/brand (e.g., standard pique vs. performance stretch), I can help recommend the best vendor match and budget tier.
I found several strong matches. For a corporate-event order, I’d prioritize vendors that can handle both the recycled garment and embroidery as one order, rather than sourcing blanks separately.
A particularly good value/performance option is the Adidas 100% recycled polyester polo: Kodiak explicitly offers it with embroidery and a six-piece minimum.
For a polished corporate-event look, I'd shortlist Cutter & Buck, Adidas, or Under Armour. For a sustainability-forward program, the GOEX option is also interesting because its Repreve recycled-polyester polo specifically states that it takes embroidery well.
If you'd prefer a Charlotte-area supplier
Since you're looking for corporate event apparel, local decorators could be useful for in-person samples, logo proofing, and last-minute logistics. I found several established Charlotte-area embroidery suppliers:
Fresh Threads Screen Printing & Embroidery — Charlotte; embroidery plus apparel sourcing and fulfillment.
FTA Embroidery & Screen Print — Charlotte; in-house production and embroidery.
Metro Print Screen Printing and Embroidery — serves the Charlotte metro and handles embroidered polos/corporate apparel.
Peak Events & Promotional Products, LLC — particularly relevant for corporate programs and events.
Logo'd Gear — corporate promotional apparel, embroidery, and fulfillment.
I couldn't verify from their public listings that each local shop stocks recycled polos specifically, so I'd approach them with a specific garment request—e.g. Port Authority C-FREE, Adidas A430, Cutter & Buck Virtue Eco, or Under Armour 1383255—and ask them to quote the garment + embroidery together.
My recommendation
For a typical corporate event, I'd get quotes from Kodiak, JLC, and a Charlotte-area decorator and compare:
Quantity and size breakdown
Logo embroidery cost/setup
Garment recycled-content percentage
Whether the recycled content is GRS-certified
Sample/proof cost
Production + shipping deadline
Individual packaging or attendee-specific sizing, if needed
If you give me your approximate quantity (e.g. 50, 100, 500+), event date, desired budget per polo, and whether you need men's/women's/unisex, I can narrow this to the 3 best vendors and specific polo models.
