ADIDAS CREATES TRAINERS MADE OUT OF OCEAN WASTE IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE PLASTIC IN WATERS AROUND WORLD
German sportswear brand Adidas is helping to clean up the earth’s oceans by using the waste floating
around the world to make shoes. The sportswear company has teamed up with Parley for the Oceans,
an environmental group that raises awareness of pollution in the ocean, to produce pairs of trainers
made from recycled ocean waste. Only 7,000 pairs of the Ultra BOOST Uncaged Parley were made in
2016, but the company says it plans to make one million pairs of shoes using Parley Ocean Plastic in
2017. "Nobody can save the oceans alone. Each of us can play a role in the solution. We are extremely
proud that Adidas is joining US in this mission to show that it is possible to turn ocean plastic into
something cool,” said Cyrill Gutsch, the founder of Parley for the Oceans.
Priced at €200, the shoes contain 11 plastic bottles. The upper part of the shoe is made from recycled
polyester and waste plastic taken from the waters around the Maldives, and most of the rest of the
trainer was made from recycled material.
Plastic in the world's oceans has become an increasing problem in recent years. A report in January said
oceans would contain more plastics than fish by 2050 unless the world stopped rubbish leaking into the
seas. According to UNESCO, in 2006, there were 30,000 pieces of floating plastic for every square
kilometer of ocean. Plastic kills over a million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals every year.
