Here at Ocean Bottle we are proud to be a people powered solution to the ocean-plastic crisis. We work with plastic collection parters @plasticbank, @plasticsforchange and @repurpose_global to prevent plastic reaching the ocean whilst building a new currency for plastic waste and helping to improve social mobility at the same time. With the sale of each Ocean Bottle, 11.4kg of plastic (the equivalent of 1000 ocean-bound plastic bottles) is collected in coastal communities where plastic pollution is worst. Plastic collectors can exchange plastic waste for money or credit via blockchain technology to spend on tuition, tech goods, health care and micro-finance. Our award winning Ocean Bottle has been designed with K8 Design. Features include a dual opening to pour drinks and ice into and clean easily, hot and cold insulation, dishwasher proof and an easy carry loop. Plus it’s recyclable and part made from recycled ocean plastic. The bottle comes embedded with an NFC enabled smart-chip, which allows owners to register the bottle to our Ocean Bottle Mobile App to further fund the collection of ocean-bound plastic (for free) each time a refill is registered. Since launching in 2019 we have prevented over 7 MILLION kgs of ocean-bound plastic from reaching our oceans 🌊 That’s the equivalent to 636 million plastic bottles. WOW.
