How the Prevented Ocean Plastic guidelines work

  • Working based on academic definitions for ocean bound plastic.
  • Applying OceanCycle certification.
  • Providing full traceability from coastline of collection, to final product on shelves.
  • All plastic products with our stamp use a minimum of 30% Prevented Ocean Plastic, with many products over 50% inclusion.
  • Substantial and real industry level recycling.

The sun and the salt water degrades the plastic within a few days, making it largely unusable for recycling.
