In a bid to end plastic pollution of the oceans, adidas and Parley collaborate to 'Avoid, Intercept and Redesign' and convert up-cycled marine plastic debris into technical yarn fibres.

"With every kit we create we are committed to constantly innovating while also drawing on the unrivalled heritage of adidas football," Juergen Rank, Senior Design Director at adidas, said.

"Our partnership with Parley for the Oceans is allowing us to push this innovation even further than ever before, producing kits that set new standards in sustainability while also allowing players to perform at their very best.
