The North Face has a reputation for retailing its sustainably made clothing, and its taking that environmental commitment one step further with its Bottle Source collection. This line of T-shirts was made from 18,000kg of single-use water bottles that the brand recovered from the Alps -- highlighting the dangerous waste that pollutes some of the world's most precious locations.
The brand is hopeful that this line will raise awareness for pollution and environmental activism, encouraging people to recycle and protect nature, especially locations that are heavily visited. The simple white tee from this line is the perfect addition to one's wardrobe rotation, offering both comfort and style for the conscious consumer. In addition, The North Face is donating money to the Summit Foundation, who are committed to cleaning and preserving the Alps.
