TOGETHER FOR A CLEAN OCEAN

The SEAQUAL INITIATIVE is a collaborative effort to combat plastic pollution, working with NGOs, communities, and activists to clean beaches, oceans, and rivers. The waste collected is transformed into SEAQUAL® YARN, a sustainable, 100% recycled textile solution. Since 2016, the initiative has removed 800 tons of marine litter, with 290 tons converted into SEAQUAL® YARN. With over 2,000 clients in 60 countries, SEAQUAL has reduced CO2 emissions by 37%, water consumption by 34%, and energy use by 40%. It has collection points in Mexico, Tunisia, Egypt, and Vietnam and partnered with Puma for a circular sportswear campaign.
