#ERASEplastic with Sustainable Fashion
Plastic was created in the 50's, to everyone's happy surprise (at
the time) this meant it will last FOREVER! But really, forever... and ever...
and by 2050 plastic will out populate fish in the ocean. *Ugh*
Thankfully people are starting to care much more and are taking
actions like recycling, building eco-friendly brands (or give back in a way they can) and one (MAJOR) step
grander, clothing brands are now using recycled plastic to make fabric in
everyday clothes!
Below are a few of these amazing companies that have come across my way so far. If
there are more out there (I am sure and hopeful there are) please send them my
way as I would love to add them to the list!
*below brands turn recycled plastic bottles into clothes - unless otherwise stated*

Made from 35 renewed plastic bottles
Made from 100% post-consumer water bottles and recycled foam
Kate Hudson's new line Happy x Nature
Each shirt made from 12 recycled plastic bottles—and is also fully recyclable
100% recycled fiber made with discarded waste
collected at landfills and oceans (think: fishing nets and fabric scraps)
Some of the yarn features Parley Ocean Plastic™ which is
made from recycled waste, intercepted from beaches and coastal
communities before it reaches the ocean.
...and for a pop of color.. Color the world lipsticks
(vegan/cruelty free natural lipsticks that donate a portion to charity)
Now go ahead and treat YO-SELF while also supporting great brands ;)
Thank you to the companies above for caring enough to really do
something and now make clothes that can maybe last longer.
