The result of this collaboration is the Trill Seave Collection, a line of sleep products made from recycled ocean plastic. The Trill Seave Collection includes a mattress, topper, and pillow, all manufactured using post-consumer recycled plastic that has been converted into a woven fabric. The collection’s name, “Seave,” is derived from the words “sea” and “save,” emphasizing the importance of preserving our oceans and marine life.

According to the World Bank Organization, the Philippines is one of the world’s worst polluters when it comes to ocean plastic waste. Every year, an estimated 2.7 million tons of plastic waste are generated in the country, with 20 percent of that ending up in the oceans. This has caused a huge environmental crisis, with plastic pollution endangering marine life and threatening the health of our oceans.
