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 €2,000, 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 Mandives, and most of the rest of the trainer was made from
recycled material.
