MUNICH (AP) - Bayern Munich will play in shirts made of recycled plastic waste collected off the shores of the Maldives when it hosts Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

The shirts were developed by Adidas.

Adidas is a co-founder of Parley for the Oceans, an organization whose aim is to raise awareness of the condition of the oceans and to protect the maritime environment. The shirts were developed as part of its Ocean Plastic Program to rid oceans of plastic waste.
