Since their collaboration with REPREVE in 2012, Quiksilver has recycled more than 100 million bottles; which has been repurposed to be used in the production of the brand's boardshorts, jackets, and other dope Quiksilver gear. So as an Earth Warrior and fan of the Quiksilver brand since my Rocket Power days, I was super stoked to hear about the brands strive towards sustainability.
What’s good with the Quiksilver x @REPREVE Collection tho? Repreve is a company that transforms recyclable bottles into high quality fiber - offering a sustainable approach to modern fashion (which is the world’s 2nd most polluting industry). In creating this recycled fabric, the production process consumes low amounts of energy and water compared to the production of conventional polyester fabric. And lastly, in supporting recyclable wears - you also reduce the carbon footprint these bottles once had on our planet. ♻️
Much love to @QuiksilverPh for putting me on the Quiksilver x @REPREVE Collection.
In this photo, I am wearing the Amphibean Shorts - which is made from 13 Plastic Bottles ♻️ And as I strive towards lessening my carbon footprint by supporting sustainable fashion in this way, I feel good about vibing with Quiksilver. Stay High! 🌊
