OCEAN PLASTICS | EVENT
by Control Union and was created specifically for plastic deemed at risk of escaping into the environ- ment. A growing body of organisations have opted in to become certified – from companies supplying recyclate such as US-based OceanWorks, to Seven Clean Seas which, through its beach clean-ups, focuses on facilitating plastic offsetting. Multi-stakeholder partnerships are common in the sector, as brand-owners seek advice and access to networks through environmental services. Bantam Materials, and its Prevented Ocean Plastic programme, works with the entire value chain. With the assistance of OceanCycle as an external auditor, the company supplies UK supermarkets Lidl and Sainsbury’s, and works directly with aggregators and recyclers in Southeast Asia. Heng Hiap, an ocean plastic recycler in Malaysia, supplies manufacturers across the region while meeting the demand for social responsibility and transparency which brands look for. Another example is Bureo, which supplies Patagonia with its NetPlus material made from retired fishing nets. Textiles are a growing application for ocean
plastic. Impact Recycling is a great example of how innovative automated sorting technology can be
used to achieve high quality recyclate in countries with high labour costs. Through its water-based BOSS process, the company produces PE and PP. As brands seek access to continuous and high-quality ocean plastic supply chains, organisa- tions such as NextWave Plastics become key in establishing a stable market by bring together members which share technology and methodol- ogy. For example, Dell works with a range of partners such as Vertiv and Nest to deliver sustain- able and socially responsible products and packag- ing. This is where organisations such as ClimeCo and TonToTon have stepped in. The collection of difficult-to-recycle plastics, such as multilayer films, is financed through the sale of plastic credits. The material is then used as an alternative fuel source, displacing more polluting alternatives.

WE DRIVE THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
Whether it is inhouse, post- consumer or bottle recycling: you can only close loops in a precise and profi table way if machines are perfectly tuned for the respective application. Count on the number 1 technology from EREMA when doing so: over 6000 of our machines and systems produce around 14.5 million tonnes of high-quality pellets like this every year – in a highly effi cient and energy-saving way.
