Prince William wears tie made from recycled plastic bottles
The TelegraphThe Prince took part in a panel for London Climate Action Week, chaired by actress Hannah Waddingham in the Sky Garden in the City of London. ‘Be bold, be brave, be creative’ The Prince urged those in the room, which included Earthshot Prize nominees, winners and philanthropists who have helped scale their ideas, to “be bold, be brave, be creative”. Discussions in the past around environmental problems had been “very negative, very doom and gloom”, he said, with Earthshot intended to bring “hope, optimism and urgent action” to solve the problems threatening the planet. He hailed Charlot Magayi, 31, whose company Mukuru Clean Stoves won an Earthshot prize in 2022 for its work to provide safe cooking stoves, as “a beacon” and the “Queen of Africa”. She said afterwards: “When he sees me, he always tries to speak some Swahili and says words like ‘mzuri’, which is ‘good’ in Swahili.” The Prince’s tie was manufactured by Wilmok and is the second made from recycled plastic bottles that he is known to have from its range.
