Everytime we do our laundry, microplastics are released into the water and flushed into our oceans. Synthetic materials, such as polyester, are the worst. The problem is they’re also the best materials to exercise in. And to make matters worse, your exercise clothes need to be washed after every use to avoid infections.

This gym bag is made out of Polyamid 6.6, a completely new material that filters out microplastics from the water. And it doubles as a washing bag. This means that Adidas customers can keep washing their exercise clothes after every workout, without adding to the great amounts of plastic being released into the oceans.
