Splash launches ‘The Aquarium of Truth’; a new campaign to drive awareness surrounding sustainable fashion

Splash, the Middle East’s largest high-street fashion retailer, has launched an inspirational sustainability campaign, The Aquarium of Truth, to promote awareness of conserving the ocean, and strengthen the adoption of sustainable business practices in the fashion industry.

Advocating for the green fashion movement and delivering a strong message of life beyond plastic, the new campaign by Splash showcases the reality of the ocean. Additionally, Splash is stepping up its sustainability initiatives for 2020 and plans to produce 80 per cent of its products using sustainable and ethically sourced materials.

Aquariums have always been known to replicate what one would find at the bottom of the ocean. From coral reefs, to sunken ships with treasure to hidden caves, they always paint a beautiful picture of what the ocean must look like. Unfortunately, due to rising levels of pollution, and uncontrolled dumping, the blue sea has turned into toxic catastrophe.

It was with this premise that Splash created ‘The Aquarium of Truth’, a gigantic fish tank featuring plastic bottles, bags, soda bottles, straws and disposable cups to portray a true picture of what one would find at the bottom of the ocean.

Highlighting the company's environmentally conscious ethos, Splash’s latest campaign aims to show and change the attitude of fashion retailers and consumers as they become increasingly aware of how overuse of plastic is negatively impacting the planet and contributing to differing forms of environmental pollution, including water pollution.
