In HK, only 1% of all plastic bottles (PET) ended up being recycled in 2018 and 2019.  Things have gotten worse since China, hosting the world’s largest recycling facilities, banned the import of plastic waste in 2017. All of the sudden the plastic waste that we have been shipping out to China to get sorted and processed for decades have nowhere to go. They will now end up in incinerators or landfills, or for the worse, developed countries have been paying developing countries such as Malaysia to dump them in their countries. 

Looking around us we know that it is very hard to avoid the use of plastic in modern society. Given this, we hope to find a sustainable solution for our use of plastic and the waste that comes after it. We want to help create demand for plastic waste so businesses will treat them as resources instead of something they need to get rid of. We want to show them that more of us favours reusing post-consumer materials over new virgin materials. We want to displace the need for virgin material with recycled material that causes a lower environmental impact.

When you buy recycles instead of new materials, you’re supporting infrastructures that value reuse over-extraction. We hope that you would join us in this revolution, we hope that someday most of the plastic components that the world produces are made with recycled plastic waste and none of them has to go into incinerators, landfills or our ocean.  One may ask what if all the plastic waste on this planet were removed and repurposed for a second life, what would be the purpose of this business then? Well, isn’t that a dream come true?
