Some stretch jeans are biodegradable, while others use plant-based indigo blue.
A good match for the sweaters and T-Shirts manufactured by a Massachusetts-based startup.
Its founder’s ocean-inspired clothing line is made from oyster shells and granules from recycled plastic.
The shells are ground into a fine powder, blended with the plastic granulate and spun into yarn. This again is woven with cotton or lambswool and made into knitwear.
With each item, 5 fewer oyster shells and 8 fewer plastic water bottles end up being discarded. The team is also supporting oyster farming, since each shell naturally filters around 200 litres of seawater per day.
Those used to the rough seas could try pullovers made from human hair.
