The material from these marine plants is ecologically sustainable and 50% more breathable than cotton.
Synthetic Clothing Is Ruining Our Oceans And Ending Up In Our Food
60% of clothes are made from plastic materials such as polyester, which consume 350+ million barrels of oil and release 8+ million tons of plastic into the ocean every year.

Synthetic Clothing Is Ruining Our Oceans And Ending Up In Our Food
Did you know that 60% of clothes are made from plastic materials like polyester, nylon, and acrylic?
Companies are tempted to make clothes from these materials because they are inexpensive. But plastic fibers are massive polluters.
Making clothes from these materials consumes over 350 million barrels of oil and releases over 8,000,000 tons of plastic into the ocean every year.
Not to mention that every time these materials go through the laundry, they release up to 2,000 microplastic fibers. The problem with this is that these fibers cannot break down completely.
They end up in our bellies and those of wildlife. It can take up to 200 years for synthetic fibers to biodegrade into the earth, so those polyester clothes you have could've been worn by Abraham Lincoln!

Synthetics Pollute The Earth And Underpreform... What Can Be Done?
Look in any closet, and you’ll find clothes made from synthetic fibers like polyester.
If you’re looking for trendy, durable, and inexpensive clothes, synthetics are the perfect solution...
But the sad truth is they are polluting our earth with plastic. And what they’re not telling you is synthetic fibers underperform in warmth, breathability, and odor-resistance.
What can be done? You could stop wearing plastic completely and shift to cotton. But most cotton is GMO and wasteful. 99% of cotton is non-organic.
Worldwide, 2.5% of all cultivated land is used to grow conventional cotton, requiring around 3% of the world's freshwater. It takes 2,700 liters of water to produce a single t-shirt.
What if there was a simple solution that offers the same durability and comfort, but preforms better, doesn’t cause so most excess pollution, and actually benefits the earth?

Is The Seaweed In SeaCell Ethically And Sustainably Harvested?
SeaCell is made from regeneratively farmed Icelandic seaweed, so it's not taken from ocean ecosystems, where it also serves as a carbon sink.
4% of total biomass is allowed for annual harvesting, and every 4ish years, the harvesting practice is done by these neat floating conveyor boats that cut about 1/3 off the top of each plant, well above the growth point, and this process can only take place between the lowest and highest tide each day.
According to the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute of Iceland, measurements show that the biomass of seaweed in the farmed region has grown larger each year.
The harvesting process is also double-audited each year to ensure there is not a greater impact on the local ecosystem.
