Fishermen find a market for waste plastic

At sunrise in the fishing port of Villajoyosa in eastern Spain, a fleet of traditional fishing boats sets out on the Mediterranean to hunt for cuttlefish, prawns - and plastic bottles.

Since July, Spanish fishing boats in the Mediterranean have been picking up plastic waste that will be recycled into polyester fibers that will be used to make a high-end clothing line.

"We want to present the first fashion collection made with yarn and fabric that come from garbage found at the bottom of the sea," said Javier Goyeneche, 45, the president of Ecoalf, the Spanish company behind the venture.
