Oroton is proud to be collaborating with Waste2Wear on this special project
- a global organisation with a mission to recycle plastic waste into useful textiles.
Every year, mass amounts of plastic waste enter our oceans and can be found in swirling convergences that make up about 40 percent of the world's ocean surfaces.

The Everyday Tote is crafted from a 99.9% recycled polyester textile spun from traceably sourced plastic bottles. Each tote repurposes approximately 33 PET bottles, giving them a useful new life.

Oroton is proud to partner with Jessica OAM on the launch of our Everyday Tote, which is helping to turn plastic into possibilities. A household name at just 16 years old, Jessica Watson became the youngest person to sail solo non-stop around the world in 2010. Over the subsequent years, the ocean has continued to shape her journey, both through ocean racing, writing books based on her experiences and speaking about the lessons learnt at sea. She’s also passionate about protecting our waterways, having experienced first-hand the significant plastic pollution choking our oceans.
