Wear clothes made from recycled PET bottles
PET bottles collected out at sea are recovered, recycled and spun into clothing items, helping remove plastic pollution from our oceans while also avoiding the use of virgin materials in the fashion industry.
1 million single use plastic bottles are purchased every minute.
