To bring attention to the fact that its Trash Tee is a t-shirt made from 100% materials, Everybody.World created an entire commercial based on the same premise, using [recycled audio and video clips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glad-x-sesame-street).

The ad combines stock footage that's over a decade old with audio clips from the 1950s, which gives the entire video a retro feel. In any instances where new footage was needed, the brand shot footage on vintage Kodak film to create continuity.

Everybody.World's Trash Tee is a product that's made from [100% processed waste cotton fibers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unifi), helping to give new life to a material that other companies see no value in. In addition to highlighting the [eco-friendly product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cos-2), the advertisement also spotlights the people behind the brand and its philosophy.
