Sourcing plastic from Swiss rivers to create sustainable garments
Peter Horning, founder of Round Rivers, sources plastic from Swiss rivers and turns it into upcycled products, such as jackets. The raw materials are locally sourced, creating a transparent supply chain. The garments are designed to be comfortable and desirable, making sustainability fashionable. The process is also CO2-negative, as it avoids the burning of the discarded materials.
