We are recovering plastic, and we want you to join us.<\/p><p>For every order made during our <strong>One Tee One Kg<\/strong> promotion this weekend, a kilogram of ocean-bound plastic is recovered and recycled - the equivalent of 50 plastic bottles. We count the orders and each one funds plastic recovery that is done through our friends over at Plastic Bank. 8 million plastic pieces find their way to our seas every single day but events like this can make a difference and <strong>prevent further pollution<\/strong>.<\/p><h3><strong>Recovering and recycling with Plastic Bank<\/strong><\/h3><p>Our friends at Plastic Bank have removed over <strong>55.3 million<\/strong> kilograms of ocean-bound plastic. They have recovered enough plastic to circle the Earth with straws <strong>thousands of times.<\/strong><\/p><p>Plastic Bank projects pay collectors to remove waste from coastal communities in places like Haiti, the Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil. Their collectors gather plastic waste from streets, households, and informal dump sites, properly disposing of plastic waste before it ends up in the ocean. The plastic is recycled and reborn as Social Plastic to be remade into new products as part of a closed-loop supply chain.<\/p><blockquote><p><strong><em>As well as stopping plastic waste from polluting our oceans, Plastic Bank<\/em><\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/plasticbank.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>are a social enterprise building a regenerative society with their ethical recycling ecosystems.<\/em><\/strong><br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/s6dgwdk72vhfqffgkbtkxea94dg94ez07ermlnxwylk9giv0.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"s6dgwdk72vhfqffgkbtkxea94dg94ez07ermlnxwylk9giv0.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" \/><span style=\"font-family:Lato, sans-serif;\">Plastic Bank collectors working hard to remove plastic waste from the coastline.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/yxobwjal00kbp2sbo8oq5zqbvbyjcciasmqwclaakvfsgnlv.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"yxobwjal00kbp2sbo8oq5zqbvbyjcciasmqwclaakvfsgnlv.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" \/>From 9am Friday 20th until Midnight Sunday 22nd January <span style=\"font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;\">every order placed will be counted up and we will sponsor the subsequent work with Plastic Bank.
