The Evolve Adventure Towel is the world’s first sand free beach towel made from recycled plastic bottles. The towel was created by a high school environmental science teacher and utilises an innovative fabric developed by Evolve Travel Goods, called Ecolite Microfiber. This unique recycled fabric makes the towel eco-friendly, antimicrobial, light weight and rapid drying and sand free beach towel. The towel launched with five vibrant, travel inspired designs to choose from.
Wayne Goodwin is an environmental science teacher from Australia who has spent his career working in international schools around the world. The passion for the environment he sees daily from students in his classroom has inspired him to take action himself; an idea which has led him to creating an environmentally focused travel brand, along with his first product, the Evolve Adventure Towel.
Wayne explains, “Outside of the classroom, I spend my time travelling, surfing, diving and camping. A towel is always an essential accessory, but I’ve never found one that’s perfect. They’re always too bulky, too sandy and take too long to dry. When my students inspired me to start an eco-friendly brand for travellers, this was the first problem I chose to tackle. Fast forward months of researching and designing, and I really think I’ve found my perfect towel. Best of all, we’ve been able to make it in a way that is environmentally positive, by recycling an estimated 20 plastic bottles for each towel, that otherwise would have ended up in a landfall or polluting our oceans.”
Beyond its eco-friendly credentials, Ecolite Microfiber is an innovative, high tech fabric that has unmatched performance when compared to the competitors. The Evolve Adventure towel boasts of a number of other breakthrough features:
Sand Repellent – The innovative fabric allows sand to slip easily off, without becoming lodged in the fibers like a traditional cotton towel.
Super Absorbent – The fabric can hold three times its weight in water.
Ultra Portable – Engineered to be lightweight, allowing the full-sized towel to be folded up to about the size of a large burrito. Making it the perfect towel for travelling, when space is at a premium.
Rapid Drying – Evolve’s towels use increased solar absorption and a unique weave pattern in the fabric that allows water to escape faster, significantly enhancing drying speed.
