the collaboration between parley and soma aims to reduce plastic water bottle usage, with each one of their glass bottle and sleeve supporting the movement to create change. before it reaches landfills, rivers and oceans, the parley intercepts and upcycles trash into eco-innovative materials by transforming PET bottles into pellets and then meting them into filament of neoprene, which then can be used to create products.

available to purchase from starbuck stores in north america, the recycled bottles are lightweight, durable and can hold 17 oz (0.48 liters) of liquid. finally, it features a natural bamboo cap that as well as being leak-proof is made from renewable resources.
