We are all aware of the plastic problem in our oceans and have a desire to help changing the situation and stop the plastic pollution in our oceans.
It starts with collecting abandoned plastic waste and preventing them from entering the oceans. To achieve this, it requires an ethical supply-chain, which has a recycling approach and is controlled by independent organisations.
Plastics For Change, has worked hard with their misson against plastic pollution in India for many years. The plastic pollution that ends up in our oceans and the extreme poverty in South Asia have led Plastic for Change to build an infrastructure for the collection and recycling of waste. Which protects the ocean and creates jobs for some of the poorest people in society. This recycling process not only helps keep the oceans clean and creates jobs, it also helps reducing greenhouse gases and protect our climate.
- Plastic waste is collected, sorted and cleaned.
- The plastic bottles gets crushed and torn into smaller pieces as "plastic flakes" and melted into liquid.
- This liquid is turned into fibers and become yarn that eventually is woven into a fine and durable polyester fabrics and ropes.
