Graviky Labs upcycles air pollution into sustainable inks, paints, coatings, plastics and construction materials, and for the first time, AIR-INK is being applied to garments thanks to the Pangaia x AIR-INK capsule collection. The collaboration with the streetwear label features a range of clothing pieces and accessory items that have graphics created from ink made from toxic particles.
The message behind this collection urges people not to breathe in pollution but wear it in the form of sweatshirts, hoodies, t-shirts and track pants. The crisp white range also includes slippers, bags and hats that are emblazoned with a special infinity logo. The products themselves make the most of a mix of recycled and organic cotton and other compositions like 50% pre-consumer recycled materials where possible.
