Dorset man whose family has been affected by dementia completes South West Coast Path<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n “The material we’re using would otherwise have been discarded, yet it’s now part of a product helping fund clean-up efforts around the world.\n<\/p>\n
\n “What we love about this partnership is that it connects people to the story of the material.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The household plastic waste starts its journey here in Dorset, gets transformed into something people genuinely want to wear, and then helps support the removal of waste from oceans and coastlines elsewhere.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It’s a reminder that waste doesn\u2019t have to be the end of the story.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Each 4ocean bracelet sold funds the removal of one pound of rubbish from ocean, rivers, and coastlines.\n<\/p>\n
\n Since 2017, Florida-based 4ocean has removed more than 50 million pounds of plastic and trash through its global clean-up operations.\n<\/p>\n
\n Scott Dustin, head of e-commerce at 4ocean, said: “At 4ocean, we believe the biggest environmental challenges won’t be solved by one organisation alone.\n<\/p>\n
\n “They’ll be solved by like-minded organisations bringing different strengths to the same mission.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Brothers Make embodies that mindset.\n<\/p>\n
\n “They’ve found an incredible way to transform discarded plastic into something people are proud to wear, and together we’ve created a product that not only tells a powerful story about circularity, but directly funds the removal of two pounds of trash from our oceans, rivers, and coastlines with every stack sold.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This is exactly the kind of partnership we want to keep building.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
