This motto of the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE inspired us to create our new colorful children's shoe collection made from upcycled sea plastic.
Unfortunately, millions of tons of waste still end up in our oceans every year. We all know this is a danger to our environment! Through the commitment of the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, this plastic waste is collected from the seabed off the Spanish coast by around 400 partner fishermen and then processed into SEAQUAL® YARN. Every kilogram of SEAQUAL® YARN produced corresponds to one kilogram of waste.
The goal is a clean sea!
The SEAQUAL INITIATIVE focuses on plastic waste from the seabed. Their partner network starts with fishing boats and extends to spinning mills, weaving mills and brands that are committed to clearing the sea of garbage and producing ecologically friendly yarns, fibers and fabrics.
The SEAQUAL® YARN:
We usually do not use polyester, but this system and the quality of the fabrics have more than impressed us. SEAQUAL® YARN has the same properties as fibers made from conventional polyester, but is far superior from an ecological point of view. It actively contributes to cleaning the seas, saves water and energy consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. Material traceability and certificates also assure the end consumer that by choosing a product made from SEAQUAL® YARN, they are sustainably supporting the end of plastic pollution.
Briefly:

Through the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, it is collected from the seabed off the Spanish coast by around 400 partner fishermen and then processed into SEAQUAL® YARN. Every kilogram of SEAQUAL® YARN produced corresponds to one kilogram of waste. In order to avoid waste, POLOLO largely avoids outer packaging and the use of plastic.
Vegan line made from the prickly pear cactus
POLOLO is always looking for new ecological, modern solutions and materials for the production of beautiful and contemporary children's shoes. In our sneaker line made of “cactus leather”, the raw material is obtained from the prickly pear cactus.
It is made from the leaves of the prickly pear cactus. This is not cleared, but only renewable leaves are used for production. The cultivation is controlled organic. No energy is used to dry the leaves. The leaves dry in the sun.
Our motto: We believe that there is always a way to see and do things differently. Maximization is by no means everything - we at POLOLO believe we have a great responsibility towards the environment and future generations!
PS: By the way, Pololo is Chilean and means “steady friend” and that’s what POLOLO should be – a good, long-term companion!
Not all cotton is the same. The sustainable alternative is called organic cotton from controlled organic cultivation.
Organic cotton is cotton that is produced and certified according to the guidelines and standards of organic farming. The cultivation of organic cotton is sustainable and maintains the health of the soil, nature and people, as only natural products and sustainable methods are used instead of artificial fertilizers and pesticides. The use of toxic chemicals and genetically modified organisms (e.g. seeds) is prohibited. Instead, growing organic cotton combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the environment and promote a good quality of life for all.
