#PlasticFreeOceans

BATELA joins Plastic Free Oceans and will remove more than a ton of plastic from the sea.

Thanks to BATELA, from 2023 the organization The Gravity Wave will begin to act for the first time on the Basque coast and other areas of the Cantabrian Sea, cleaning up plastic waste and remains of fishing nets.

The deep connection we have with the marine environment and the concern generated by the increase in pollution in the seas, has led us to open this avenue that will allow the removal of the equivalent of 200,000 plastic bags from the Cantabrian Sea.

At BATELA, we are aware of the state of the oceans and their pollution, which is why we are the first fashion company to collaborate with Gravity Wave to carry out the work of cleaning and maintaining the seas. Through these actions, we aim to contribute to improving the environmental situation and marine ecosystems.

GravityWave is a social enterprise, focused on the circular economy and environmental awareness, driven by the desire to solve one of humanity's greatest challenges: plastic pollution of seas and oceans.

We collect plastic from the seabed and ports to transform it into long-lasting, high-value sustainable design products through a circular economy process. Furthermore, we prevent the plastic that is still being generated from ending up back in the water.

How do they clean plastic from the seas?

At BATELA, with the support of Gravity Wave, we are taking a series of steps to ensure this project is effective and efficient. The main mission is to contribute to the maintenance of the oceans and reduce their pollution.

WORKING AS A TEAM

Gravity Wave carries out its mission through teamwork with individuals, companies, non-profit foundations and traditional fishermen who adhere to the #Plasticfreeoceans movement, which is why BATELA trusts Gravity Wave to carry out its proposals.

THANKS TO BATELA YA GRAVITY WAVE

Thanks to the alliance between BATELA and Gravity Wave , tons of plastic and nets will be extracted from the ocean this year and we will soon be able to create recycled products with these plastics.

Goal 2025

This year, and with your help, at BATELA we are committed to cleaning the equivalent of 200,000 plastic bags from the ocean.
