According to the NGO Ocean Conservancy, 8 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean every year, on top of the estimated 150 million metric tons that currently circulate in marine environments. If we keep this pace, by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastic has been found in more than 60% of all seabirds and in 100% of sea turtles species.
Why recycled polyester?
-
Diverted Waste
Recycled polyester diverts waste from landfills, and the ocean. Instead of using new materials (i.e., petroleum), recycled polyester uses existing plastic. This is often old water bottles.
-
Reduced Emissions
Recycling single-use plastics dramatically reduces greenhouse gas emissions and water usage compared to producing virgin polyester.
-
Durable and Comfortable
Recycled polyester has many benefits for our clothes, such as increased durability and comfort. This helps to reduce your consumption - leading to less waste.
