These clean ups vary between small groups of local volunteers, large international programs and one-off beach clean ups. Often they involve whole communities of fishermen who retrieve waste on a regular basis when out at sea.
They don’t limit these cleans ups to just plastic, but collect and recycle the materials they find giving second life to all the objects and cleaning up the environment. Materials such as metals and glass are recycled using traditional methods and organic material and non-plastic waste are recycled or disposed of responsibly. As we are becoming increasingly aware, marine plastic is a lot harder to recycle but Seaqual have cleverly engineered a way to make a cutting-edge yarn from our plastic waste.
Seaqual yarn, other than being delightfully sustainable and drawing attention to this wonderful initiative, makes a very versatile fabric. Our washed black and red swim shorts have a soft hand-feel with an emerised face and are incredibly quick drying. They are smart enough to wear in or out of the water.
By choosing products containing this amazing fabric you are helping to deal with the enormous plastic pollution problem our planet is facing and we are certain you will love wearing them too! There is a very novel feeling which comes with swimming in the beautiful ocean waters wearing a pair of shorts that have helped to clean it.
