By some estimates, we are now producing nearly 350 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single use. More than 8 million metric tons of this plastic ends up in our oceans, entangling and killing hundreds of thousand of marine creatures annually. Researchers suggest that by 2050, there could be more plastic in the oceans than fish. In an effort to repurpose some of this waste, Helmut Lang created a unisex, water-repellent nylon Stadium Jacket ($265) and Hooded Raincoat ($345) cut from OCEAN PLASTIC, a material developed by Parley For The Oceans from intercepted and upcycled marine plastic debris. One small step on the road to ending plastic pollution.
