🚯 What Exactly is Ocean-Bound Plastic (OBP)?
Ocean-Bound Plastic (OBP) is abandoned plastic waste collected from areas within 50 kilometers of a coastline. This includes beaches, rivers, and landfills in regions where waste management is lacking. By intercepting this plastic before it reaches the ocean, we prevent environmental damage and create a valuable resource.
🔁 The Journey from Waste to Package: How OBP Becomes a Tube
The process of creating ethical packaging from OBP is a model of circular innovation:
- Collection 🤲: Plastic waste is collected by local communities and NGOs from coastal areas.
- Sorting and Cleaning 🧼: The plastic is meticulously sorted by polymer type and thoroughly cleaned to remove impurities.
- Processing ⚙️: The clean plastic is shredded into flakes, then processed into pellets of recycled resin.
- Manufacturing 🏭: This recycled resin is compounded and used to manufacture new cosmetic tubes, bottles, and jars.
