Velor & Seaqual: For eco-responsible cycling and a cleaner sea

At Velor, we believe that a sustainable future starts with concrete actions and committed partnerships. That's why we're proud to announce our collaboration with Seaqual Initiative, a key player in the fight against marine pollution. Together, we transform plastic waste into circular cycling outfits, combining innovation and respect for the planet.

SEAQUAL INITIATIVE is a collaborative community with a mission to transform marine litter into sustainable textile solutions—yarn and fiber—branded as THE OCEANIC LINE. Seaqual is committed to collecting plastic waste directly from oceans and rivers, offering high-quality textile solutions to the world, and making a tangible impact on ocean health."

THE PROBLEM: 92% of plastics entering the oceans are macroplastics. Left unchecked, these plastics break down into microplastics, contaminating the food chain and spreading through all species—including us—with consequences that are only beginning to unfold.

THE CHALLENGE: Seaqual's goal is clear: to one day no longer need to exist. Until then, our challenge is to recover as much plastic as possible from oceans, rivers, and estuaries before it becomes microplastics.

THE SOLUTION: We transform marine litter into high-quality textile solutions—SEAQUAL YARN and SEAQUAL FIBER—THE OCEANIC LINE— for brands and manufacturers.

Together, we are SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, a community united for a cleaner, healthier ocean.

Our mission: #TOGETHERFORACLEANOCEAN"

After you've put in your Velor clothing for miles, they can be recycled to create new outfits – closing the loop.
