SWISS WASTE JACKET (unisex) – short, chocolate
The unisex SWISS WASTE JACKET from Round Rivers is a super warm oversized winter jacket, entirely made from Swiss waste*. All raw materials are sourced and converted within a production radius of only 140km.
The upcycled polyester fabric is made of 14 PET-bottles that we removed from the Zurich river Limmat. This process not only cleans the river but also creates our own raw material, closing the recycling loop.
The insulation layer is made of recycled down from unused garments, duvets and pillows that we sourced in Switzerland. Of course, they are washed and sterilized. Recycled down have the same performance as new ones and guarantee highest wearing comfort - just without animal suffering.
LIMITED TO 200 PIECES. Each jacket is individually numbered, reflecting our commitment to sustainable production based on the amount of PET bottles we collected.
*except of the jackets accessoires.
