“Together for a clean ocean!”
SEAQUAL INITIATIVE‘s motto has inspired us to create our new colourful children’s shoe collection made from Upcycled Marine Plastic. Unfortunately, millions of tonnes of waste still end up in our seas every year. We all know: This is a danger to our environment! SEAQUAL INITIATIVE works with ocean clean-up programmes, fishermen and local communities to transform the marine litter they recover into SEAQUAL® YARN containing Upcycled Marine Plastic. Every kilogramme of SEAQUAL® YARN produced is one kilogramme of waste.
The goal is a clean sea!
SEAQUAL INITIATIVE focuses on plastic waste from the ocean. Her partner network starts with fishing boats and extends to spinning mills, weaving mills and brands that have committed themselves to clearing the sea of waste and producing ecologically compatible yarns, fibres and fabrics. It is estimated that eight million tonnes of waste end up in the ocean every year, 80 percent of which sinks to the sea floor.
This type of pollution is getting worse and out of control. If we don’t change our habits soon, our oceans will contain one tonne of plastic for every three tonnes of fish by 2025.
SEAQUAL® YARN:
Otherwise we do not use polyester, but this system and the quality of the fabrics have more than convinced us. SEAQUAL® YARN has the same properties as fibres made of conventional polyester, but is far superior to them from an ecological point of view.
It actively contributes to the cleaning of the oceans, saves water and energy consumption and reduces CO2 emissions. Material traceability and certificates also assure the end consumers that by choosing a product made from SEAQUAL® YARN, they are sustainably supporting the end of plastic pollution.
