The collaboration with the [streetwear label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei) features a range of clothing pieces and accessory items that have graphics created from ink made from toxic particles. The message behind this collection urges people not to breathe in pollution but wear it in the form of sweatshirts, hoodies, t-shirts and track pants. The crisp white range also includes slippers, bags and hats that are emblazoned with a special infinity logo. The products themselves make the most of a mix of [recycled and organic cotton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pac-collection) and other compositions like 50% pre-consumer recycled materials where possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 87% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Air Pollution Upcycling:** Graviky Labs' AIR-INK technology creates inks, paints, coatings, plastics, and construction materials by upcycling air pollution. - **Pollution-inspired Fashion:** Pangaia x AIR-INK collaboration uses ink made from toxic particles to create graphics, encouraging people to wear pollution-inspired clothing pieces and accessories. - **Sustainable Streetwear:** Pangaia x AIR-INK uses a mix of recycled and organic cotton and pre-consumer recycled materials to create sustainable streetwear pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sustainable Fashion:** Graviky Labs' AIR-INK technology creates opportunities for the sustainable fashion industry to have eco-friendly printing options. - **Environmental Conservation:** Pangaia x AIR-INK collaboration promotes environmental conservation by highlighting air pollution and its impact on society. - **Pollution Prevention:** Graviky Labs' AIR-INK technology and Pangaia x AIR-INK collaboration contribute to pollution prevention by upcycling air pollution and encouraging people to be aware of its effects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainably Inked Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johnnie-walker-bottles.md) - [Tree-Planting T-Shirt Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/treedom.md) - [Pollution-Removing Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-campaign-sucks.md) - [Spring-Ready Outdoor Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-articles.md) - [Activism-Focused Apparel Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeropostale-1.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Wearable Art Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-days-march-1.md) - [Sustainable Indian Streetwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloveify.md) - [Spring-Ready Organic Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pac-collection.md)
