OCEAN PLASTICS RECOVERY
Siminetti is proud to partner with Plastiks, whose mission is to connect people around the world to fight global plastic pollution. Plastiks is a recovery-guarantee marketplace that enables sponsorship of projects in a new initiative to help reduce plastic waste in the environment. In line with its ethos to produce products that are sustainable and natural, Siminetti, is working with Plastiks to prevent plastic waste from invading the oceans, while improving the quality of life of local communities involved in collecting plastic.
Under the Plastiks initiative, for every m2 of Siminetti product sold, plastic will be recovered from the oceans, which provides communities with additional income, while creating a circular economy model, around recycling the ocean harvested waste and upcycling it into new products.
All of these environmentally beneficial investments are showcased using Plastiks’ Sustainability Dashboard, a real time view of plastic recovery that clients can view via the Siminetti website. Clients will receive a certificate that provides information about the amount of plastics recovered by the project on their behalf.
Siminetti has chosen, via Plastiks, to specifically support the Second Life project; a social enterprise in Southern Thailand that teams up with coastal communities to collect plastic waste from the sea. The objective is to provide those communities with additional income, while creating a circular economy model, around recycling the ocean harvested waste and upcycling it into new products. It’s known that plastic can have many lives beyond the single use given to it and that’s the goal of Second Life project, which aims to maximise social impact by engaging in geographies where waste infrastructure is underdeveloped.
The Second Life project was launched in 2020 and is a social enterprise in Southern Thailand, that teams up with coastal communities to collect plastic waste from the sea.
