Shirts and shorts made from beach plastic by O'Neill
The new collection from O'Neill "O'Neill Blue - Our Ocean Mission" is made from recycled beach plastic. Our oceans are constantly at risk of catastrophic and consequential plastic pollution and no one is more aware of this than the surfing community. That's why O'Neill's latest collection is made from technically highly functional eco-textile, sourced from recycled coastal plastic by Bionic. The first O'Neill Blue spring/summer collection has contributed to the elimination of approximately 200,000 plastic bottles from beaches and coastlines around the world, giving discarded plastic bottles a second life.

Irene.Portmann@digitecgalaxus.chI love the strategy game “The Settlers of Catan”, the Ravensburger puzzle “Colourful Cupcakes” and the pink fluffy unicorn that sits on my desk (a birthday present from my workmates). Not only do I have a weakness for toys, I also get excited about good food and comedy TV shows.
