The 0917 Lifestyle Sustainability Shirts are specially made from 60 percent cotton and 40 percent RPET, equating to roughly four to six one-liter plastic bottles; while the tote bag uses 100 percent recycled plastic bottles or exactly three one-liter bottles.
Progressive urban brand 0917 Lifestyle of Globe joins the battle against single-use plastics by collaborating with Revolve, a Philippine-based social enterprise. The partnership is now out with a product line that utilizes recycled polyethylene tetraphyte (RPET) bottles to help reduce harmful plastic waste in the environment.
Revolve produces corporate merchandise from RPET bottles and has supported the giant telco in various sustainability initiatives and environmental advocacies in the past. RPET takes old plastic materials, usually plastic bottles, and extracts the core PET ingredient, which can be turned into reusable textiles.
