An estimated 80 per cent of marine debris in the world’s oceans is made up of plastic. And sportswear giant Adidas is doing its best to turn the tide on this catastrophic development by releasing a third range of products made from recycled ocean plastic.

Last year, Adidas also launched a selection of trainers made from ocean plastic for its UltraBoost, UltraBoost X and UltraBoost Uncaged range.
去年,阿迪达斯也发布过由海洋塑料制作的运动服系列,有UltraBoost、UltraBoost X和UltraBoost Uncaged。

They were such a hit that Adidas has already sold a million pairs.

In a further bid to end pollution, the brand also traded plastic bags in its retail stores for paper ones and, as a result, is said to have eliminated almost 70 million plastic shopping bags.
为了解决污染问题,阿迪达斯也在实体店里把纸袋换成了塑料袋,据说避免了7千万一次性购物袋的使用。
