GOAL: MAXIMIZING REUSE POTENTIAL
Our commitment to freeing the oceans from plastic waste drives us to collect every piece of plastic that harms nature, regardless of its form or type. Instead of only collecting easily recyclable pieces, we ensure to remove as much plastic waste as possible. All collected plastic requires sorting. Thanks to our recycling partners, we can process PET into rPET (recycled PET) and use it for our GOT BAGs (approximately 10% to 15% of the collected Ocean Impact Plastic). Other plastic types, like PP or PA, are sent to other recyclers who mechanically recycle them for alternative product value chains. However, some plastic types are not suitable for our products due to their characteristics or lack of the required purity for recycling. We are continuously in collaboration with partners and scientists to find optimal solutions for recycling these plastics.
