The video says Pepsi, Evian, and Coca-Cola are using Loop resin. The companies are not yet using Loop’s resin, however, they plan to when Loop’s South Carolina plant is operational. Insider regrets the error.

In 2015 Adidas partnered with Parley for the Oceans to turn marine pollution like plastic bottles into shoes and sportswear. Like its Ultraboost and Alphaboost shoes, the two companies have prevented over 2,800 tons of plastic from reaching the ocean. And in 2019 Adidas expects to make 11 million pairs of shoes with recycled marine waste. But how are these shoes made?
Plastic bottles that contain PET are broken down into plastic flakes then cut into small resin pellets. These pellets are melted to create a filament, which is spun into what Adidas calls Ocean Plastic, a replacement for virgin polyester. Each item in the Parley collection is made of at least 75% recycled plastic. Adidas is also developing a 100% recyclable shoe called Futurecraft Loop, which is expected to be available in 2021.

  1. This IS WRONG WRONG WRONG SO WRONG FOR YOU!!! WOULD YOU PUT A PLASTIC BAG OVER YOUR FACE & TIE IT DOWN??? This is by far the most ignorant CHANGE they've done to ATHLETIC shoe's!! Starting in 1997 according to my resources at the time we went from KOREA MADE TO CHINA MADE, MEASUREMENTS CHANGED & MATERIALS WENT TO THE CHEAPEST UNNATURAL MAKE! Increased foam, hard soles and on I could go all this SHIT IS & HAS DISCONNECTED YOUR BODY COGNITIVELY AND CAUSED ATROPHY FROM YOUR FEET UP!! AND VERY LIKELY NERVE DAMAGE! Bet you have an ACIDIC body, bet that factors in RESTLESS LEGS amongst all the othe FATIGUE so many experience these YEARS!! IT ON AND ON I COULD GO!!

  2. .. like tobacco companies planting trees as social corporate responsibility..

    We need to stop buying, we need to stop fast fashion, when i was little, my one pair of shoes would last years..

    Enjoyed those so much more than the many i have today

    Also, plastic bottles should be banned.. there is no other way.. simple
