Copenhagen Cartel
Swim- and sportswear made from ocean plastic
At Copenhagen Cartel, we want to help clean the world's oceans by creating products that are made from recycled plastic from the sea. We give waste that is usually considered worthless new life.
All products in our CC Swim and CC Active collection are made from recycled plastic from the sea - primarily old fishing nets.
By recycling, we save both water and energy and thereby optimise our overall CO2 consumption.
Our production process requires far less energy and crude oil than the process of creating completely new materials does, because we recycle already existing materials and waste products. This is how we can save the planet's precious resources and minimize our CO2 footprint.
Our mission is to challenge the traditional patterns of production and consumption by implementing solutions that quickly ease the pressure on our planet and climate.
