Transparency

Oceanworks® PCR Collection areas

Today consumers demand, but more importantly deserve, transparency. OW collection areas are a way to arm brands with easy-to-understand information about where reclaimed recycled content originated in order to clearly communicate with your customers.

How It Works

1-2: Ocean plastic

01 Offshore

Material far from shore accumulated floating “gyres.” The material is primarily HDPE, as it floats, and represents a fraction of the plastics that enter the ocean each year.

1-2: Ocean plastic

02 Nearshore

Material suspended in the shallow areas of the ocean that are close to shore. This category also includes fishing net recovery and intervention programs.

3-5: Oceanbound plastic

03 Coastal

Material that has washed up onto beaches and coastlines.

3-5: Oceanbound plastic

04 Waterway

Material found in streams, rivers and other waterways flowing towards the ocean.

3-5: Oceanbound plastic

05 Oceanbound

Material collected from communities with no formal waste management within 50 km of the shoreline. This catchment area was first utilized in research by marine debris expert, Jenna Jambeck, in evaluating the source of plastic waste entering the ocean.

6-7: PCR

06 Averted

Material collected from communities with mismanaged waste outside of the Ocean-Bound collection area or with an unknown distance from the shoreline. This is plastic that, if not responsibly recovered on land and reutilized for production, would likely remain in the environment, causing pollution.

6-7: PCR

07 Post Consumer

PCR is an all-encompassing term for material that has been used by consumers and reached its end of life. It can include material that was removed from the environment as pollution as well as material that was diverted from the landfill through a formal or an informal recycling program to be reutilized in future production.
