What do you mean '229 plastic bottles saved from the ocean with each order'?Updated 2 years ago

We use ocean-bound plastic in the production and manufacturing of most of our products. The amount of upcycled ocean-bound material used is not included in this number.

 

On top of all ocean-bound plastic content, we work with collection partners in southeast Asia who do collections on beaches, mangroves, river-ways, and coastal communities.

 

We ensure that the equivalent of 229 plastic bottles is collected fore each order. With the average plastic bottle weighing 10 grams, 229 plastic bottles equals 5 lbs of plastic. In these cleanups, it's not just bottles that are saved, but also plastic bags, sachet packaging, and more.

 

To date (December 2021, we have offset more than 22.9 million plastic bottles from our Ocean)

 

Collection groups we have worked with include: The Plastic Bank, Sungai Watch, EcoRanger Indonesia, and Coralive.
