Ocean-bound Plastic
We combine ocean-bound plastic and recycled clothes into a unique fabric mix that is soft, durable and extremely hard wearing.
We work with local coastal communities in India and the Philippines to collect plastic waste. Our plastic is collected from oceans, rivers, beaches and landfill. 80% of ocean plastic is from the World's poorest nations.
The primary objective of our mission is to prevent plastic from entering the ocean. Less that 5% of Ocean plastic reaches the surface or washes up on coastlines. The majority sinks to the bottom of the ocean where it is broken down into polluting micro-plastics. The micro-plastics are ingested by marine animals and the toxins are now entering the human foodchain.
Cleaning the ocean is not enough. We need to work with local communities in the World's poorest nations to stop the flow of plastic from entering our oceans.
There are endless possibilities for the use of recycled plastic material in the retail sector, from clothing to homeware. If you are interested in finding out more about how your business could utilise this technology, please contact us for more information.
