Ocean Action PP

The Ocean Plastics crisis is real.  Today, only around 10% of plastic waste gets recycled globally, while the rest ends up in landfills, incineration, or leaks to nature or oceans.  Ocean bound plastic is plastic waste defined as “at risk of ending up in the ocean,” and it is estimated to generate 80% of plastic marine litter. We desperately need more ways to reuse post-consumer plastic waste.  Our solution is Ocean Action labels.

Ocean Action labels are a product that uses ocean bound plastic as a label material, with an aim to create a demand for reclaiming plastic waste before it pollutes our oceans. The Ocean Action label, made from ocean bound plastic, is available in white and clear ISCC PLUS certified C-PCR film.

Ocean bound plastic is abandoned plastic waste of all sizes located within 50km from shore in communities or areas where waste management is inexistent or very inefficient. Plastic waste is not collected correctly and abandoned in the environment from where it can be transported to the ocean by rain, wind, tides, river flow, or floods. Ocean bound plastic is waste that would otherwise damage the ocean, harm sea life, and even eventually end up on our plates through marine food chains.

Our Ocean Action labels are as white and clear Top Coated PP films with three different grades of permanent adhesives. They are a perfect fit for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), such as household goods, personal care, packaged foods, and beverages, and we offer the labels in short run multiple sort runs, as well as larger production runs.

Here are the spec sheets for the white and clear options.
