HIGH-QUALITY ROPE AND BRAIDED TEXTILES MADE OF PLASTIC WASTE
We support partner organisations, led by #tide ocean SA, in their efforts to collect ocean bound plastic and process this raw material into high-quality rope made of recycled plastics. Raw-material preparation, further processing of the granulate into yarn and the braiding of the ropes all take place in Switzerland.
For every metric ton of products made from recycled waste that we sell, we donate 1,000 Swiss francs to our partner organisations. These organisations are committed to protecting marine habitats and supporting waste collection projects in coastal regions.
THE PROBLEM
PLASTIC WASTE IN THE SEA
Plastic waste in coastal regions and oceans is a major global challenge. This calls for new solutions. OceanYarn® contributes by recycling ocean-bound plastic and transforming it into high-quality products.
THE SOLUTION
UPCYCLING INSTEAD OF INCINERATION
Ocean-bound plastic does not have to end up as waste. Through collection, processing and recycling, it can be transformed into a high-quality raw material for new products. OceanYarn® uses this raw material to manufacture high-quality ropes.
THE PRODUCT
FROM PLASTIC WASTE TO PREMIUM RECYCLING PRODUCT
Together with our partners, we ensure a transparent and traceable supply chain for OceanYarn® products. From the collection of ocean-bound plastic and its processing into granules to the finished product – an example of circular economy in practice.
