Transforming ocean waste into ocean wear with Tegan Kirby

Creators and innovators are on the ground at SXSW and at the ARN house we invited attendees to sit down with our journalists, to take part in a special live podcast experience and share their knowledge on a topic of their choice.

Tegan Kirby, co-founder of The Someday Co, discusses the urgent issue of ocean plastic pollution and the role of sustainable fashion in addressing this crisis. Tegan explains the challenges consumers face in making sustainable choices, the innovative processes behind transforming ocean waste into wearable products, and the importance of supporting small, ethical brands in the surf and swimwear industry.
