<h5>Who is making clothes out of recycled sea plastic?</h5><p>Kerkennah Plast, a Tunisian company, has collaborated with the Seaqual Initiative, a group trying to help clean the oceans, to make recycled clothes using sea plastic. It is a European Union (EU)-funded project that aims to clean our oceans and bring value to the waste that is recovered.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/tunisian-brand-turns-sea-plastic-into-clothes%2Fdress-made-from-plastic%20(1).png?alt=media&amp;token=60d16eb4-4f19-4342-9f55-33a33d78200a"><figcaption>A dress made from plastic.

The waste pickers pick up the rubbish from the beaches and give it to Kerkennah Plast company.</p><h5>What is done with the collected rubbish?</h5><p>Kerkennah Plast crushes and compacts the recovered marine plastics. The recovered plastic granules from waste grinding are converted into "Seaqual Yarn" nylon fibre in Portugal. Apart from this part, the rest of the work is done in Tunisia.</p><p>The "Seaqual Yarn" supplied by Seaqual Initiative is turned into denim fabric at the Sitex mill in Ksar Hellal, a coastal town in the southeast of the Tunisian city of Monastir. The fabric is then used to make various fashionable clothes for the eco-friendly Tunisian fashion company Outa.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qM0X51C9lj4" title="Tunisian brand turns sea plastic into green couture" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><figcaption>Watch sea plastic being converted into clothes.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Outa founder Anis Montacer hired famous French designer Maud Beneteau to create Outa's first haute couture collection using this fabric. The designs initially appeared during Tunis Fashion Week in June.</p><p>This new creation of clothes using sea plastic can help clean up our oceans. We must all work together to ensure that our planet remains safe from plastic waste.</p>
