YKK has announced a collection of zippers made from ocean bound plastic. The zippers of the new Natulon Ocean Sourced collection are made from plastic waste that has been collected within 50km of the coastline of Sri Lanka. According to YKK, the collection is indistinguishable from zippers made of virgin polyester and offers the same strength, functionality and durability as conventional zippers. The collection, which expands YKK’s current offer of sustainable trims, will debut at Ispo Munich on Jan. 26-29, as well as at The Outdoor Retailer and Snow Show on Jan. 29-31 in Denver, Colorado. The zippers of the Natulon Ocean Sourced will be available for purchase in the spring.
