Wanna Wear Fish Nets? (No, not those)

3/8/2018

The story of Econyl recycled nylon is one of beauty. It comes full circle by taking old fishing nets that are polluting the ocean and trapping sea life and turning them into yarn that becomes swimwear. Brands like Loka and pro surfing legend Kelly Slater’s Outerknown are using this fabric to make sure their impact on the environment is as minimal as possible.

Here’s a short video that explains the process:
