Perry Ellis International, Inc. announced an expanded partnership with CleanHub to include the Perry Ellis brand in its effort to remove plastic waste before it reaches oceans and waterways. The expansion allows Perry Ellis to dedicate a portion of sales to recover an additional 10,000 pounds of plastic annually. The CleanHub partnership is an extension of PEI's ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Since April 2022, PEI's Original Penguin brand has collaborated with CleanHub, a Berlin-based technology company dedicated to implementing waste recovery solutions across Asia and Africa. To date, the Original Penguin partnership has facilitated the collection of nearly 25,000 pounds of plastic and counting. The partnership will support PEI's overarching objective to take responsibility for its plastic waste and combat plastic pollution globally.

These collaborative efforts will enable complete transparency into the plastic recovery and recycling processes, ensuring the company's plastic footprint is effectively managed and mitigated. Instead of plastic eventually degrading into harmful microplastics that pollute marine environments, the collected waste will be provided a second life through responsible recycling and repurposing.
