Repurposed Evian water bottles collected during the Us Open Tennis tournament were used to create a unique limited-edition tennis line capsule collection from Rothy's. This partnership between Evian and Rothy's kicked off in September 2021 with the intention of reducing plastic packaging waste and turning it into a useful material for Rothy’s signature 3D knitting process.
The tennis-inspired capsule collection includes items like sneakers, caps and visors, as well as racket, sling and duffel bags. This low-waste fashion collection supports both brands in their goals of going circular—Rothy's by 2023 and Evian by 2025.
It's estimated that about 72,000 Evian bottles were collected during the large-scale tennis tournament, ultimately helping this plastic from ending up in landfill and recycling streams.
