The World has a problem: Plastic waste
Since 1950 approximately 8.3 billion tonnes of plastics have been produced globally, half of which in the last 13 years alone.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
This corresponds to approx. 400 million tons in CO2 emission per year.
A Detriment to our Environment
Over 5 million tonnes of plastic waste seep into our environment and ocean every year. Around 11% of this plastic waste, stems from the maritime industry in the shape of fishing nets, trawls, ropes, and boxes.

The World is Waking Up
A systemic shift towards a circular economy for plastic, in which plastic never becomes waste, is required.
If we do not rethink to recapture and recycle plastic waste for a sustainable future, we risk billions of tons of plastic in our oceans by 2050.

DOING BUSINESS THE RIGHT WAY – AND IT SHOWS!
Plastix is proud to support ScanCom International in their sustainable journey, which has sent ripples of excitement through an ocean of innovative designers, intent on combatting plastic pollution.
The DuraOcean chair is standing in the spotlight.
It has not only won both the Best New Product award at SOLEX, and the Gardiente Bronze Outdoor Living Award 2019, it has also been chosen to be featured as a case study in the Sedex Sustainable Development Goals report.
We, at Plastix, believe in the Partnership for the Goals, as they will provide the world with the blueprint to ensure The Future We Want, and our collaboration with ScanCom is proof of this.
Thank you to the ScanCom team, for showing others how it’s done!

We are using the same amazing material next week in our factory in Kent to make @muggi trays
Thank you Plastix for helping us to create the DuraOcean chair. We are thrilled about all the recognition we have received! The most important is to show that we can all contribute to beat plastic pollution and to clean up the oceans. #doingbusinesstherightway
