Bottle Rockets by Bonobos
Made from reclaimed plastic beer bottles – the kind you toss at family bbq’s and baseball games. Each jean has a stamp that illustrates the number of beer bottles it diverted from a landfill.
HOW? The bottles are collected, sorted, and cleaned by Earthspun, a North Carolina textile company that shreds and melts them into liquid. After it’s extruded to long filaments, the material is woven with standard cotton fibers and spun into yarn.
R-1 Wetsuit by Patagonia
Manufactured from limestone-based neoprene and recycled polyester fleece, the new suit features the highest recycled content of any wetsuit on the market. Patagonia claims it’s a surfing industry first.

Fjällräven’s Philosophy:
Our product design uses functions and materials that will last a long time. We believe durability is better for the environment. Our developers are also constantly on the look-out for new materials that are kinder to the environment.
