A
small business in South Walton County has discovered a profitable way
to deal with plastic garbage in the Gulf of Mexico.
They
are making t-shirts out of them.
Last
year, a company called 30A began making T-shirts and other beach
apparel from recycled plastic water bottles – you can see their
work at 30Agear.com
Their
30A Dumpster Diver shirts is made from approximately eight
16-ounce plastic bottles.
So
far the company has sold over125,000 Dumpster Diver shirts, and have
recycled 1 million plastic bottles that would have otherwise ended up
in landfills or waterways.
30A's
line of eco-friendly apparel is being sold in over 150 retail
locations nationwide, including Washington State, Minnesota, Texas;
and New Hampshire.
The
recycled yarn is made in the U.S.A., and 30A prints their
eco-friendly shirts in Santa Rosa Beach.
30A's
Dumpster Diver apparel line currently features 9 different colors,
over 30 designs and a variety of styles, including T-shirts, V-necks,
tank tops, slouches, beach cover-ups and more.
