Social Night – Fourth Element: Becoming Ocean Positive

An estimated 8 million tons of plastic waste enters our seas each year. Dumped into our oceans daily, this threatens marine life, pollutes beaches and affects local tourism industries. On top of this, we face a global threat from escalating carbon emissions, resulting in rising sea levels with devastating effects to both humans and wildlife.

Being ‘OceanPositive’ stems from not just what we do in the ocean but also what we do in our everyday lives. From the garments Fourth Element produce to the packaging they are in and the projects that we support along the way, everything we do leads to ensuring a more sustainable business that is good for the ocean.

Join us as Alex Griffin from Fourth Element takes us through being ‘OceanPositive’. It spans from not just what we do in the ocean but also what we do in our everyday lives. Items in the Fourth Element OceanPositive Collection are made using fabrics including a significant percentage of recycled content from post-consumer waste. This includes “Ghost” Fishing nets, brought out of the sea to be recycled and post-consumer plastic bottles.
