CLAE X SEAQUAL INITIATIVE
From Marine plastic waste to your feet.
We proudly maintain our long-standing partnership with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, a unique organization fighting ocean plastic pollution. With upcycling, we give a second life to household waste.
Nothing is lost, everything is transformed !

Made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester
Marine plastic waste is collected with the help of local fishermen, individuals, and organizations and then processed into an innovative recycled fiber: SEAQUAL® YARN.
Both the Malone Knit and Bradley Knit are built with engineered SEAQUAL® YARN, recycled synthetic accents, recycled nylon laces, and recycled poly lining, further reducing waste and environmental impact.
