Whether it\u2019s a shampoo bottle or a plastic take away box \u2013 many consumer plastic goods are single-use. While useful at the time, large amounts of single-use plastic end up in our oceans every day. Through its Ocean in Mind program, ORBIS is now part of the solution to this massive problem. ORBIS\u00ae Corporation<\/a> partners with suppliers to create a value chain to repurpose ocean-bound single-use plastic waste into sustainable supply chain packaging.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

From plastic pollution to reusable packaging solution<\/h2>\n

The Ocean in Mind process starts with the collection of plastic waste before it ever enters our oceans and waterways. The ocean-bound plastics are mainly collected in developing countries with high levels of single-use plastic waste on their coastlines and unstructured municipal waste programs to manage and collect that waste. It is recovered within 50 km from a coastline and typically consists of single-use consumer packaging waste, including beverage packaging, shampoo bottles, plastic bags, etc.<\/p>\n

Once collected, this plastic waste is reprocessed into reusable resin and shipped to ORBIS Corporation facilities in the US to be manufactured into reusable pallets and bins for the supply chain. By design, ORBIS\u2019 reusable transport packaging<\/a> is extremely robust and can be reused over and over \u2013 for a long service life. At the end of the service life, any damaged or obsolete plastic packaging can be returned to ORBIS for recycling into future products. By creating a nearly closed, entirely sustainable raw material cycle, ORBIS prevents plastic from entering our oceans and the solid waste stream and eliminates expendable packaging waste by 100%.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”8021″ img_size=”235×317″ add_caption=”yes” qode_css_animation=”element_from_right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Making a difference<\/h2>\n

With this new capability from ORBIS, recovered coastline plastic waste is blended with other materials during the ORBIS manufacturing process to create containers and pallets. The material recovery offers a new stream of recycled content for reusable plastic packaging that reduces waste, conserves natural coastlines and supports economies in developing coastline communities. Since the program\u2019s inception in 2020, ORBIS has already diverted roughly 500.000 kg of single-use plastic waste on coastlines from entering our oceans. The equivalent to 50 million shampoo bottles has been repurposed into new packaging solutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to offer our customers a durable material that not only meets their packaging needs, but also their sustainability goals,\u201d said Breanna Herbert, product manager and sustainability lead at ORBIS Corporation. \u201cIt\u2019s with our customers that we\u2019re able to make the greatest impact and continue to increase the amount of single-use waste we\u2019re diverting from our oceans.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”10656″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” qode_css_animation=”” qode_hover_animation=”zoom_in” link=”https:\/\/www.orbiscorporation.com\/en-us\/sustainability\/ocean-in-mind#.Yek78v7MKUk”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff” border_color=”#ffffff” bg_type=”bg_color” z_index=”” bg_color_value=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Stimulating developing countries socially and economically<\/h2>\n

While ORBIS designed the program to keep plastic out of the oceans, it also brings significant economic and social benefits to the developing countries like Haiti, Egypt, Philippines, Indonesia and Brazil where the ocean-bound plastic waste is collected. When partners like ORBIS purchase ocean-bound plastic waste, suppliers give funds to local in-country development.<\/p>\n

These efforts help provide families with basic necessities such as groceries, cooking fuel, school tuition and health insurance, and creates opportunities for communities to achieve economic growth. For example, in one collector community, water filtration systems are being installed to provide collector families with a sustainable way to access clean water. In another community, plastic waste collection is helping to provide over 3.400 tablets to children in need. Collecting coastline waste in developing countries results in improved access to employment, education, services and technology.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”]
