PHOTOS: New Mickey & Co. Collection Made with Recycled Fiber from Plastic Bottles Now Available

Ten new t-shirts featuring Mickey Mouse and friends launched today on shopDisney.com. The Mickey & Co. apparel line was created from up to 50% REPREVE recycled fiber from plastic bottles collected from the Walt Disney World Resort !

Nancy Gonzales, senior manager, Global Product Strategy, played a major role in creating this collection. She shared that one of the best parts of working on Mickey & Co. was “re-discovering great retro Disney art and validating that our products and characters are truly timeless and forever relevant.”

She even gave a behind-the-scenes look at how the design came together. “We had several creative partners around the world reimagine the Mickey & Co. creative. The line includes actual replica designs as well as newly imagined and inspired art,” she said. “The line looks cohesive and so fun. It’s a reimagined creative point of view combined with recycled materials!”

The Mickey & Co. collection is perfect for vintage lovers who want to show off some ‘80s and ‘90s throwback style! From Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to Donald Duck and Daisy Duck and Goofy to Pluto, the gang’s all here in vibrant fashion.
