It’s never been easier - of more comfortable- to wear your eco-friendly credentials on your sleeve… or perhaps more aptly here, on your feet. These men’s and ladies Healthy Seas Organic Cotton Socks are made from 65% GOTS-certified organic cotton and Econyl® yarn, which is made with recycled fishing nets. Healthy Seas reclaims dumped and abandoned fishing nets (known as ghost gear) from the North Sea and the Mediterranean, cleaning the oceans and making them safer for the marine life that can be killed by these submerged hazards.Healthy Seas terms their work ‘A Journey from Waste to Wear’. The manufacturer strives for sustainability, using the resulting harm to produce not just socks, but swimwear, carpeting and other textiles rather than taking the last route of contributing to landfill.Better yet, the cotton rich Healthy Seas socks are comfortable, soft and even look good, with a distinctive and highly apt wave stripe pattern. They are manufactured under Fair Wear monitoring, for ethical treatment of workers.
