PLASTIC'S SECOND LIFE
Our commitment is based on a simple and precious idea: we live in a planet full of wonders and must protect it at all costs. To support this easy but often neglected idea, we decided to create garments (jackets and swimming trunks) from recycled raw materials.
For our high quality collections, we use recycled plastic coming form PET bottles (Polyethylene terephthalate), entirely recycled and highly appreciated because f its limited weight, high resistance and long last usage. Starting from this plastic, originally used for beverage or food containers, we obtain a continuous thread polyester yarn, produced from post consumer recycled PET, which quality is the equal to the virgin polyester.
Chimborazo wants to give plastic a second life. From its rebirth, we create unique and resistant items, which concretely answer to the necessity of a cleaner planet and which drive our daily mission: protect the world in which we live in.
