Ethical Yacht Wear, a company specializing in yacht crew uniforms, has recently announced that it has sponsored the removal of an impressive one million plastic bottles from the oceans using its profits. Established in 2019, the company has implemented a unique “two-party system” to tackle the issue of plastic pollution. Firstly, a portion of Ethical Yacht Wear’s earnings are donated to the Plastic Bank, which supports individuals in low-income coastal areas to collect plastic waste from marine environments. Secondly, the company operates on a circular business model, offering only “eco-friendly” uniforms made from 100% organic cotton or recycled plastic materials.
Founder Lauren Wardley shared that her passion for the ocean inspired her to launch the company with the goal of giving back and promoting positive change through business practices. Wardley expressed immense pride in Ethical Yacht Wear’s ongoing commitment to supporting ocean cleanup efforts, emphasizing the significant milestone achieved in collaboration with clients and the Plastic Bank. The company remains dedicated to making a lasting impact and encouraging others in the industry to adopt more sustainable practices.
Headquartered in Florida, United States, Ethical Yacht Wear continues to lead by example in promoting environmental stewardship and social responsibility within the yachting industry.
