• Mango will donate all profits from the sales to Asociación Vellmarí, an organisation led by the Marine biologist Manu San Félix, to promote a pioneering project for replanting posidonia (neptune grass), an aquatic plant local to the Mediterranean Sea that is in danger of extinction. 
• The initiative is part of Mango’s commitment to its sustainability strategy, Sustainable Vision 2030, which aims to implement measures to reduce the company's impact on the planet.

 

Mango, one of Europe’s leading fashion groups, is strengthening its commitment to sustainability and joining forces with Pyratex, a Spanish textile supplier that specialises in innovative fabrics, to launch a solidarity t-shirt and a pair of trousers to celebrate World Ocean Day today. 

Under the slogan “From the sea for the sea”, the company and Pyratex have developed this collection of two garments made from seaweed and wood cellulose blended with cotton.  

The t-shirt and the trousers, designed exclusively in Barcelona and manufactured in Morocco, are on sale in selected stores in Spain, the United States, Croatia and Greece, and via its Mango.com website in Spain. 

All profits from the sales of the garments will be donated to Asociación Vellmarí, an organisation led by the marine biologist and National Geographic explorer, Manu San Félix, to promote a pioneering project for replanting posidonia (neptune grass), an aquatic plant local to the Mediterranean Sea that is in danger of extinction.

The initiative is part of Mango’s commitment to its sustainability strategy, Sustainable Vision 2030, which aims to implement measures to reduce the company's impact on the planet through four key policies: climate change, water consumption, packaging and a strategy to protect biodiversity.
