Celebrating World Ocean Day with TET.Responsible Wear

World Ocean Day holds a special place in the heart of TET.Responsible Wear, as it serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role our oceans play in sustaining life on Earth. On this occasion, we take a moment to reflect on the significance of our oceans, the challenges they face, and the actions we can take to preserve their health and beauty. With the theme “Planet Ocean: Tides Are Changing,” World Ocean Day 2023 brings together individuals, organizations, and global leaders to join forces for the sustainable management of our precious oceans.

The Ocean’s Crucial Importance: Our vast oceans serve as the lungs of our planet, providing over 50% of Earth’s oxygen. Not only are they home to an incredible array of biodiversity, but they also play a pivotal role in our economy, supporting ocean-based industries that employ millions of people worldwide. Additionally, the ocean acts as a primary source of sustenance, supplying protein to more than a billion individuals. It is clear that our oceans are invaluable, and their well-being is intricately linked to the well-being of humanity and the entire biosphere.

The Pressing Need for Support: Despite the countless benefits we derive from our oceans, they are now in dire need of our support. Large fish populations have declined by 90%, coral reefs are disappearing at an alarming rate, and our extraction of resources exceeds nature’s capacity to replenish them. It is crucial that we work together to restore the delicate balance of the ocean, ensuring its vibrancy and rejuvenation for generations to come.

TET.Responsible Wear’s Commitment: TET.Responsible Wear not only understands the urgency of protecting our oceans and has embraced the mission to make a positive impact, but the Ocean is part of our Brand DNA. Our Story starts and ends with the Ocean. Four years ago, the owner of TET., Lieke van Hulsbergen, personally witnessed the devastating consequences of plastic pollution in the ocean. This experience ignited a passion within her to contribute to ocean conservation.

An Inspiring Journey: Lieke van Hulsbergen recognized an opportunity to address the plastic pollution crisis and embarked on a mission to create swimwear using recycled plastic waste. Today, TET.Responsible Wear’s bikinis and bathing suits are crafted from eight recycled plastic bottles, showcasing that it is possible to reuse all the plastic which ends up in our oceans. By transforming waste into stylish designs, TET. not only offers eco-friendly swimwear but also plays a vital role in preserving the health of our precious oceans.
