ECO – Eco Ocean
Eco Ocean is the latest collection to be developed by Eco and is made completely from ocean made plastics. There’s a chance of new life for all the waste that pollutes our seas
words Enrico S. Benincasa
It’s not breaking news that our oceans are full of plastics; the presence of ‘islands’ made entirely of this material in the middle of our seas is well documented. Some of them also have a name: like the Pacific Trash Vortex, a conglomerate of plastics in the Pacific Ocean twice the size of Texas. There are plenty of organizations working constantly to offer answers geared to resolving this environmental problem, one of them is Waste free Oceans. This NGO works with fishermen in different parts of the world: Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Its main purpose is to collect all the plastic waste trapped by fishermen’s nets and to give it a new life. Eco, the sustainable brand launched by Modo, has joined forces with WFO and has created a collection for SS21 using material obtained from items found in the sea. The plastic recovered by WFO is checked, cleaned, dried, prepped and transformed into a plastic granule ready to be processed and moulded.
