Burberry has launched a new collection of clothes made from recycled waste.
The new capsule collection was created using Econyl regenerated nylon, made from fishing nets, fabric straps and industrial nylon waste. The collection also features a reinvention of the classic lightweight car coat.
The brand announced the collection on social media this week, posting several images on its Instagram account. One of the photos featured its Econyl Monogram Jacquard Parka, featuring a modern silhouette and logo-print taping.
Pam Batty, Burberrys VP Corporate Responsibility, said, "Exploring and using innovative materials that foster circularity is central to creating a more sustainable fashion industry. We are proud to use the Econyl yarn in this collection because it shows how we can actively tackle a problem like plastic waste and create beautiful, luxury products at the same time.
"This collection is just one of the ways Burberry is actively disrupting and improving every stage of how we create our products because we know our industry can play a key role in building a more sustainable future through science and innovation."
