Description
22 million kgs of plastic enters our ocean every day. That’s one truckload every minute. If nothing changes, by 2050 the plastic in the ocean will outweigh the fish. Now you’ve got an opportunity to take part in preventing it from entering the ocean.
Every Ocean Bottle bought funds the collection of 1000 plastic bottles in weight. Plastic is collected by locals from some of the worst affected coastal communities such as the Philippines, Brazil, Egypt, Ghana, India and Indonesia, who then exchange the plastic for money or receive digital credit to swap for tuition, tech goods, healthcare and micro-finance. This infrastructure is made possible with help from partners Plastic Bank, Plastics for Change and rePurpose who set up collection sites and ensure transactions to collectors are secure through traceable technology.
The award-winning Ocean Bottle will mean that you can pass on single use plastic every day.
