70% of the earth's surface is covered by water, but hundreds of thousands of pieces of plastic waste float in every square kilometer of the oceans. This has fatal consequences for marine animals: fish die because they mistake plankton for tiny plastic particles, seabirds die painfully because they have cell phone parts in their stomachs, and turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish. This must be stopped!

Every minute, a garbage truck full of plastic ends up in the oceans. With devastating consequences for nature, people and wildlife. That's why we have to tackle the source and prevent plastic from getting into our oceans in the first place.

That's why we promote the extraction of ocean plastic: ethical plastic collection points are set up within a 50-kilometer radius of oceans and waterways. In addition, plastic waste is collected directly from beaches and surrounding households. This becomes a kind of currency or an additional source of income, thus offering people a way out of poverty.

After years of complex production processes, we have succeeded in extracting reliable raw materials from plastic waste that meet all quality requirements. We use the following materials:

In nature, everything is in a circle. There is no waste, but rather an eternal cycle of growth and decay.

Humans, on the other hand, are breaking the natural cycle by producing things that cannot simply be reused. This creates unnecessarily large mountains of waste, and the main advantage of plastic, its durability and robustness, becomes a problem. A PET bottle, for example, takes hundreds of years to decompose.

This is exactly where AWAVE® comes in, producing products from recycled or bio-based plastics that can themselves be recycled. This creates a cycle that Mother Nature shows us.

Out of respect for the environment.

Companies that prioritize environmental protection are increasingly favored by consumers and at the same time have an impact on global markets. Consumers demand brands with a purpose!

That’s why PlasticBank is our preferred partner as they drive change for our industry, consumers and the planet.

Recycled plastic material from the sea and reintroduced into the global supply chain creates environmental, social and economic impacts for the benefit of all.
