From the trash cans of Disney Park to its merchandising store, there is only one – responsible - step. The Walt Disney Company took advantage of the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, to relaunch its collection of Mickey & Co. retro T-shirts, created in 1984, with a sustainable dimension. The T-shirts are, in fact, made with Repreve fibers (see here), from recycled plastic bottles, in collaboration with the company Unifi (see here), specialist in recycled fibers for textiles.
