By now, we’re all pretty familiar with how plastic affects our planet. It’s currently believed that there are 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris in our oceans. Approximately 100,000 marine creatures die each year from plastic entanglement and over 1 million seabirds die from plastic ingestion. In fact, it takes a single plastic water bottle over 450 years to fully decompose. 450 YEARS! Some companies are using this overflow of plastic to turn it into something better. From fashion to home goods, check out which companies are collecting those trillions of water bottles and creating treasure out of trash.

Girlfriend Collective

Chances are, you’ve heard me shout my love of Girlfriend leggings from the rooftops. I love how comfortable and cute they are, but did you know they’re made from recycled water bottles? Now I don’t feel quite as guilty for buying the 14 pairs I already own 🙈.
