Plastic from the sea and Bering…

Bering’s new Freeway textiles constructed from 70% recycled plastic...

Bering’s just revealed a new textile suit that’s made from recycled plastic taken from the sea.

It might sound crazy, but the idea is nothing new. Since 2007 some big firms (including Nike and North Face) have been using innovative Repreve material to make quality gear that’s good for the environment. And now Bering’s getting in on the act.

Repreve’s made by grinding up plastic bottles, cleaning them, flaking them, melting them down, and then using the material to form fibres which can be spun into yarn. And that’s the stuff that makes up 70 per cent of Bering’s new Freeway jacket and trousers. There’s plenty of other good stuff included with the textiles, like Bering’s Shelltech Extreme, Alpha Level-1 armour throughout, and Bering’s BWTech fixed inner membrane, so you can rest assured that the kit will be well up to the job of keeping you warm, dry and well protected – it’s just that you’ll be helping to do your bit for the environment at the same time.
