Ocean
Plastics

We came into business to reduce the amount of plastic in the world, initially on land but since 2018 we also work closely with NGOs, Universities and local Chinese governments collecting ocean plastics. We are guided by the local experts to gather the plastics in the congested meanderings along rivers where serious amounts of plastic pollution gathers. We engage professional collectors to gather the plastic. It is a slow but important process and at present due to the manner in which we recycle plastic to products, our ocean plastic content in any fabric has a 30% content. This is currently the highest percentage of ocean fabric available. Plus it is the most pure; being collected from within 500 meters of the shore. Unlike some of our competitors who classify plastic collected up to 50 kilometers from the shore as ocean plastic, we are strict in our terms. When you buy our ocean plastic, you know that it has been gathered within 500 meters of the shoreline. Otherwise, we classify it as pre-landfill. More time and labour is involved in this form of plastic collection. For these reasons, it costs more than our regular (pre-landfill) RPET fabrics. We aim to increase the percentage of ocean plastic and reduce the cost as our business expands.
