This product contains recycled polyester which is created by melting down post-industrial or post-consumer plastic and re-spinning it into new polyester fiber. Buying this product helps to repurpose existing plastic that would otherwise end up in the landfill or the ocean
This product contains ECONYL®, a material made with discarded nylon found in oceans and other waste destined to become trash, which are recycled into something new

ECONYL®, the material used to create this item, allows you to have a product that is not using virgin materials; this innovation makes it a material of the future
The brand has been a leading member of the Cradle to Cradle Products Innovation Institute’s Fashion Positive initiative since it launched in 2014. The initiative aims to accelerate circular design through the collaborative development of circular ‘building block’ materials. Stella McCartney has also partnered with Ellen Mc Arthur Foundation and The Real Real in initiatives that are the first step towards a circular direction. Part of the brand's efforts come from the use of materials like ECONYL®
ECONYL®, the material this item is made of, is circular and closes loops as it can be re-looped and re-used for new creations infinite times. Bare in mind to keep microplastics from being released, you can wash this item with a protective bag!
