According to Greenpeace, 12.7 million tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every year. With some of the biggest names in world football rushing to play with recycled ocean plastic, millions of people are expected to think twice about where their waste plastic ends up when they're done with it.
Plastic is one of the most versatile inventions of our time and has an unmatched application at a material level . But it has become clear that, in the absence of basic waste management and recovery systems, the nature of single-use plastic increases the likelihood of unmanaged plastic waste reaching the ocean, which acts as the planet's ultimate sink. Plastic has been identified as a major component of marine debris, due to its prevalence in the debris stream and its longevity.
On August 6, at an exclusive event in Hunters Point, New York, Adidas revealed the new Real Madrid third kit. It is the first shirt produced for Real Madrid by Parley.
The manufacturer uses a technology that converts AQB Directory recycled marine plastic waste into technical yarn fibers, therefore capable of transforming plastic waste into high-performance footwear and clothing. It will be worn in the upcoming 2018/19 seasons sporting a bold new color that mimics a hue found in healthy coral reefs as a tribute to the vital role they play in the ecosystem.
Manufacturer Parley founder Cyrill Gutsch has called for a 'material revolution'. The partnership and collaboration with Real Madrid is an attempt to further facilitate the global discussion on the use of plastic as 'a toxic substance that creates too much damage to the oceans and health.
Meet the t-shirt made of trash.

A report in 2017 was published by Ocean Conservation, which stated that 'more than half of land-based plastic waste leakage originates from just five countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.' This came as a result of a rise in economic power illustrated through an explosive demand for consumer products that has yet to be met with a commensurate waste “management infrastructure.” It is currently believed that around 40 percent of the world's ocean surfaces according to biologicaldiversity.org consist of plastic eddies that have caused a detrimental impact on the oceans.
