Horizon Athletic
Horizon Athletic is concerned with raising awareness about the plastic waste in our oceans. Their Athleticwear and Swimwear are made with Econyl® woven with LYCRA® XTRA LIFE™, making it extremely durable. They additionally use reusable and biodegradable packaging, so that no additional plastic ends up in the oceans.
More on Econyl®
Econyl® is a 100% recycled fiber made from pre and post-consumer nylon waste, most of it consisting of abandoned fishing nets. The waste is recovered from the oceans, which are cleaned up in the process, and is then transformed into a yarn that has the same properties as virgin nylon. By reusing already existing materials, Econyl® achieves circularity, avoids the emissions coming from the production of new nylon and prevents more waste from polluting the oceans. Finally, removing fishing nets saves the thousands of marine animals like dolphins and turtles that die every year from getting trapped in the abandoned nets.
Turning plastic bottles into activewear
Girlfriend Collective's materials are made out of 100% post consumer plastic water bottles as well as fishing nets, which would have originally gone to landfill or the ocean; their packaging is also 100% recyclable.
From activewear to swimwear, from intimates to accessories, you can be sure to find high quality products without sacrificing sustainability and ethicalness.
Pre-loved sea pearls
Amadeus Bijoux hand produce jewellery in their London studio, using sea pearls that are pre-loved and sourced from vintage accessories.
Pearl farming can be damaging to the environment, as unsustainable oyster stock densities harm the oceans and marine life, just like pollution and human impact do.
These elegant jewels are not only made with second-hand pearls, but all of the gold, silver and gemstones they use are recycled!
