A handle that not only does something good for the kitchen, but is also an example of innovative recycling of plastic waste from the oceans.
Handle OceanIX Plastic
This is how sustainable design works
Since 1950, almost 8.3 billion tons of plastic have been produced worldwide, half of which during the last 13 years. Approx. 8 billion tons plastic waste are lost in our environment and the oceans every year; the biggest part of the plastic waste comes from the maritime industry (e.g. fishing nets, ropes…). In order to avoid that there will be more waste than fish in the oceans in the future, innovative solutions from industry such as OceanIX Plastic are needed.
Small step, big impact
The special material OceanIX Plastic is obtained from old fishing nets, among other things, which are collected and then recycled into valuable plastic. The plastic waste is sourced in cooperation with NGOs, public authorities, collectors, ports, the maritime industry and fishermen, but also net and rope manufacturers worldwide. Our new handle thus offers a solution to the global waste problem in the oceans, prevents valuable raw materials from being lost and is a small, first step on the way to a sustainable circular economy.
