As a founding member since\n2015, adidas supports Parley for the Oceans in its education and communication\nefforts and commits to the Parley A.I.R. (Avoid, Intercept, Redesign) strategy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Avoid: No use of plastic\nbags and microbeads. We are committed to be single-use plastic free in our\nfacilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Intercept: Prevent\nplastic from entering the ocean and recover existing threats. We are working\nwith Parley for the Oceans to prevent plastic entering the oceans and transform\nit into performance sportswear instead. We are working on turning what we believe\nis a problem (marine plastic pollution) into progress with an eco-innovative\nreplacement for virgin plastic: Parley Ocean Plastic\u2122. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Redesign: Drive\neco-innovation around materials, products and new ways of using them with the\nultimate goal of reinventing current plastic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parley Ocean Plastic\u2122, used\nas a replacement for virgin plastic in the making of adidas x Parley products,\nis a catalyst innovation created from upcycled plastic waste intercepted from\nbeaches and coastal communities before it reaches the ocean. With the\nproduction of one pair of Parley shoes we prevent approximately 11 plastic\nbottles from entering our oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Parley Ocean Plastic\u2122 is a\nrange of eco-innovative materials created from upcycled plastic waste that is\nintercepted from remote shorelines, beaches and in coastal communities before\nit reaches the oceans. Parley for the Oceans works with its partners to\ncollect, sort and transport the recovered raw material (mainly PET bottles) to\nour supplier who produces the yarn, which is legally trademarked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Analysis: This article shows\nhow materials are being made from recycled and reclaimed materials. Using used\nand found plastic not only cleans up our polluted oceans but in turn allows materials\nto be repurposed for a second life as shoes. Materials that are made from old\nrecycled materials could bring PET plastics into the circular economy. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.adidas-group.com\/media\/filer_public\/16\/29\/16299d3c-ad48-4f62-a8ef-c44c25fa4e5a\/adidas_x_parley_qa_website_en.pdf Parley for the Oceans is the network and space where creators, thinkers and leaders raise awareness for the beauty and fragility of the oceans and collaborate on projects that can end their destruction.
