Awards will be given to 26 brand and retail partners by whom the use of the performance fibre translates to having each transformed 10 million or more recycled plastic bottles, and 42 textile partners that have each transformed 50 million or more bottles.
Among this year’s winners are brands such as H&M, Nike, Patagonia, Polartec, Timberland, The North Face, Under Armour and others, as well as textile partners Duvaltex, Elevate Textiles, Freudenberg Performance Materials, Shanghai Challenge Textiles and more.
