The eco-friendly water filtration systems company Soma and the organization Parley for the Oceans have teamed up to create a limited edition product designed especially for Starbucks.
They recently announced the debut of their reusable water bottle with a sleeve made out of Parley Ocean Plastic – a material created from upcycled marine plastic waste.
Moreover, a portion of every sale will go to support initiatives of the Parley Ocean Plastic Program and implementation of the Parley AIR Strategy which calls to “Avoid plastic wherever possible, Intercept plastic waste, Redesign your life.” “Soma is excited to partner with Parley and Starbucks to support this movement to create change.
Parley for the Oceans is a global network aiming to raise awareness of the plastic pollution crisis and collaborate on solutions that will curb our use of plastics and help the oceans.
Its Parley Ocean Plastic is a range of materials created from plastic waste intercepted from the oceans, shorelines, and in coastal communities.
We all have a role to play.
This bottle is another reminder of that fact and the beginning of a new collaboration in the movement for solutions.” This is amazing news considering the extent of our current plastic crisis.
If we want to protect the ocean, its many inhabitants, and ourselves from the negative ramifications of plastic waste, we all need to participate in the effort to crush plastic.
