Through a partnership with the conservation group Healthy Seas, divers have successfully retrieved destructive 'ghost nets' from a sunken vessel off the coast of Catalina Island. These recovered ocean plastics are now being recycled into high-quality floor mats for Hyundai's electric vehicles, turning marine debris into sustainable automotive design.
