OceanPositive: We consume nearly 1 million plastic bottles a minute globally. This waste is not always necessary and not all of it is handled responsibly. Recycling is one solution to the problem, creating new products from old, but it is just a part of tackling the problem. Rejecting single-use plastic packaging and recycling whenever and wherever possible is a step in the right direction. With small changes in our behavior, we can make a big difference. Made with recycled post-consumer plastic waste, these shorts prevent approximately eight plastic bottles from ending up in landfill or worse still, the ocean.
