OBP Eco-Resins
Ocean Bound Plastics, also known as OBP, are plastics that are at-risk of reaching the oceans.
As defined by OBP Recycling Organization Standard, “Ocean Bound Plastic is Abandoned Plastic Waste of all sizes (micro-plastics to macro-plastics) located within the range of 50km (31 miles) from shore in communities or areas where waste management is inexistent or very inefficient.” Ocean Bound Plastic is different than Ocean Plastic, which is reclaimed directly from waterways, small island beachfronts, and the ocean. Ocean Bound Plastic is plastic that is at risk of becoming Ocean Plastic.
Sea the Possible
After seeing Ocean Bound Plastic in multiple places — Antigua, Maldives, the US Virgin Islands, and even Maine — we knew this problem wasn’t going to solve itself. We were driven to find and collaborate with purpose-driven partners where a collection network could be created to mitigate the problem of OBP, while building markets with partners to create demand for the material to have a better future. Thanks to the power of Worry Free Plastics, these plastics will never be a threat as ocean microplastics again.
Finally A Sustainable, Reproducible Solution
Baled material is either shipped to our partners directly or further processed through grinding and then shipped. We are offering a steady supply of recycled Ocean Bound Plastics powered by Worry Free Plastics in our product line Worry Free Ocean™, to manufacturers throughout North America.
We have multiple channels of acquiring materials, through both independent collectors and our partner’s collection efforts. With our networks’ compounding experience, we have the capability to create high-performance blends of Worry Free Ocean™ resins.
Let us be your solution-provider and market-maker for current and future OBP needs.
