Introducing our new Sustainable Snapbacks collection made from recycled plastic bottles

It seems a bit trivial to launch a new product right now, so rather than a traditional product launch we have decided to do something different.  We are very fortunate to be able run MNIMALIST Goods as a passion project, and ever since we started our main goal has been to use this company as a vehicle for good.  We know many people are in difficult and uncertain situations, so are hoping to do something to help, no matter how small.  With that in mind, we will be launching our new line of "Sustainable Snapbacks" on a "Pay What You Want" model, through the end of March and while supplies last.  The standard price for each recycled hat is $28, but...

8 plastic bottles = 1 MNIMALIST shirt

Minimalist Design, Minimal Impact. We are committed to making our products more sustainable and doing more to help reduce plastic pollution, so we are extremely proud of the fact our 100% recycled shirts are made from discarded water bottles and salvaged cotton. Each MNIMALIST sustainable shirt comes from 8 post-consumer plastic bottles, shredded into flakes, which is then melted into pellets. The pellets are then extruded into yarn that is knitted, cut and sewn into one super-soft tee. The printing process minimizes dyes, completely eliminates plastic packaging, and significantly reduces the use of chemicals, water, and energy. Check our our entire line of sustainable apparel here. We still have a long way to go on this journey of reducing our impact,...
