Materials science company WL Gore has announced new Gore-Tex laminates containing material produced by New York-based Bionic using plastic waste recovered from coastal environments.

A couple of new two-layer Gore-Tex laminates have emerged from the project; they combine Gore’s new ePE membrane and recycled polyester from Bionic. The Bionic polyester comes from 50% plastic waste collected from coastal communities and 50% from municipal collection.
