Seas Socks

3D Model

Even though the pollution of oceans by means of plastic has been happening since the early 20th century, the 21st century has been characterized by countries, organizations and individuals focusing on solutions for this as part of the climate change movements.

The pictured Seas Socks, for example, are partly made from old fishing nets which were left behind or got lost in the ocean. By diving them up, corals get the chance to grow again, marine animals do not get stuck in them and we prevent extra plastic soup. The organizations Healthy Seas, Ghost Diving, Aquafil and Star Sock work together to extract these so-called ghost nets from the oceans and transform them into regenerated nylon. A portion of the proceeds from Healthy Seas Socks goes to the Healthy Seas initiative. With this money they focus on the prevention, the education and the resurfacing of lost fishing nets.
