Around 8 bottles go in to making each pair, helping to reduce the amount of plastic we send to landfill or ending up in the ocean every year. Classic boardshort design, secured with cord at the waist and hook and loop fly. Sun protection UPF 35 blocks more than 97% of harmful UV rays (both UVA & UVB). Quick dry fabric is 90% recycled polyester derived from plastic bottles and 10% elastane with 4 way stretch for added comfort. Quick draining, mesh-lined pockets and back pocket with zipper closure. Branded silicone patch and come in bio-degradable packaging. Shorts are machine washable at 86?F (30?C) and available in multiple sizes.
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.
