SWIMMER’S DAILY – Adidas Parley: Upcycling Ocean Waste Into Cutting-Edge Performance Swimwear

Adidas has today unveiled its SS17 Parley swim range made from Parley Ocean Plastic and featuring up-cycled ocean plastic made from used fishing nets and debris intercepted in coastal areas and converted into technical yarn fibres such as Econyl®, a recycled Polyamide yarn.
Econyl® regenerated materials offer the same high quality and performance as the material (Nylon 6) usually found in wider swim apparel, but with the additional environmental benefits of using regenerated waste.
