Ocean-Conscious Recycled Belts

For Purpose Recycling Created a Sustainable Unisex Belt

— July 29, 2021 — Eco
For Purpose Recycling was created to stop ocean plastic pollution. At the same time, the company provides income opportunities for local communities that dedicate their time to cleaning up the ocean. To accomplish its goal, For Purpose Recycling created a sustainably designed unisex belt made from certified recycled plastic. This is the company's first product release to help attain a plastic-free ocean.

Funds from the sale of each belt provide recycling infrastructure, income opportunities, waste collection, and other support for coastal communities in Indonesia. The For Purpose Recycling Belt is available in blue, orange, black, and green. It features an adjustable D-ring buckle with a durable yet minimalistic design. Currently, the belts are available for pre-order through For Purpose Recycling's website.
