Finisterre- an ethical clothing label have recently launched their fully recyclable waterproof shell jacket called the Anabatic MK II. The jacket comes in for sweet color and it is made with use of waterproof and breathable C-Shell fabric, features a hood and waterproof pockets.

Tom Podkolinski, the Finisterre design director says “We weren’t happy with the membranes that the industry uses for waterproof jackets in terms of the environmental implications of manufacture and waste. It had to work with the range of challenging activities that our customers do and the extreme locations they are working in, alongside meeting our demanding standards environmentally in terms of sourcing, manufacture and garment lifecycle.”

The Anabatic MK II is available from the Finisterre online store.

The film explores the bottled water industries attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces.

The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.
