Everlane, an apparel company headquartered in San Francisco, is changing the way consumers shop with their philosophy of radical transparency. Essentially, it means they want you to have the best fashion, in the most ethical way possible, and in order to do so, they’re willing to tell you all the little details from where it was to made to how much it cost to make.

Now, the company is taking another step in a radical direction with the launch of a new fall outerwear collection, ReNew, made from 3 million recycled water bottles. According to GQ, “specifically: a puffer jacket that uses 16 recycled bottles, a fleece sweatshirt that renews 35 plastic bottles, a zip fleece that uses 41 and two parkas, long and short, that are composed of 60 and 55 plastic bottles respectively,” are to be released starting today.
