Did you know? - In 2020 alone, there was an estimated 5.25 trillion macro and micro pieces of plastic in our ocean, around 46,000 pieces in every square mile of ocean, weighing in at a staggering 269,000 tonnes. Every day around 8 million pieces of plastic makes their way into our oceans from around the world.
More than 1 million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals die from plastic pollution every year and 50% of this is single-use plastic & only 9% has ever been recycled.
Gymwear Industry - Fashion of all variants, including fitness clothing makes a sizeable contribution to climate change. McKinsey research shows that the sector was responsible for some 2.1 billion metric tons of greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions in 2018, about 4% of the global total. We have to do more to reduce our carbon footprint as an industry.
