The North Face's Bottle Source collection features garments made from cotton and recycled bottles that are sourced from the Yosemite, Grand Teton and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. With its new collection, The North Face is on a mission to divert hundreds of thousands of plastic bottles from the waste stream so that they can be repurposed into useful pieces of apparel and accessories.
The Bottle Source collection from The North Face includes apparel for men, women and kids that feature phrases such as "Never Stop Exploring" and "My Other Mother is Nature."
To further support the environment, The North Face is also donating a dollar to the National Park Foundation for each Bottle Source product made.
