At Pioneer Clothing, we are deeply committed to sustainability and the preservation of our natural environment. Our mission extends beyond creating eco-friendly clothing; it encompasses partnerships that amplify our impact. One such significant partnership is with Ocean Bottle, a company renowned for its innovative approach to reducing plastic pollution in our oceans.

The Ocean Bottle Impact

Ocean Bottle, a B-Corp certified company, is at the forefront of the fight against ocean-bound plastic pollution. Each Ocean Bottle is meticulously crafted from 90% recycled stainless steel and other recyclable materials, ensuring durability and sustainability. What truly sets Ocean Bottle apart is its profound impact on plastic waste reduction.

With every Ocean Bottle purchased, 11.4kg of plastic waste is collected from ocean-bound sources. This amount is roughly equivalent to 1,000 plastic bottles. Our collaboration with Ocean Bottle has already resulted in the collection of 3,420kg of plastic, which equals 300,000 plastic bottles that would have otherwise polluted our oceans​

The Collection Process

The plastic collection process involves working with three plastic collection partners across the globe, particularly in regions heavily affected by plastic pollution. The focus is on collecting plastic waste from waterways and rivers before it reaches the ocean. This method is more efficient than retrieving plastic once it’s in the ocean or has washed up on beaches. The collected plastic is then either mechanically recycled or co-processed for energy production, ensuring minimal waste and maximum utility​

Awards and Certifications

Ocean Bottle’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. The company holds several prestigious certifications, including SMETA, BSCI, ISO, FCGB, and FDA certifications. These certifications underscore Ocean Bottle’s commitment to maintaining high standards in environmental and social responsibility. Additionally, Ocean Bottle is a registered B Corp, a designation that highlights its adherence to rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency​.

Supporting Coastal Communities

Beyond the environmental impact, Ocean Bottle’s initiative also supports coastal communities. By purchasing an Ocean Bottle, consumers are not only contributing to plastic waste reduction but also aiding in improving the livelihoods of people in these communities. The plastic collection efforts provide income opportunities and enhance living conditions for those most affected by the plastic crisis.
