One of the ways to combat the global crisis of ocean plastic is choosing sustainably sourced materials. In the manufacture of Adva Blue polyester fibers, the manufacturer of polyester fibers Advansa GmbH, Hamm/Germany, in co-operating with Plastic Bank, Vancouver/Canada, uses Social Plastic as a valuable raw material.
The portfolio “Made with Social Plastic”, sourced directly from Plastic Bank, contains staple fibers, shortcut fibers and tow for various industries such as hygiene and medicine, filtration, automotive, etc.
Collected plastic (Social Plastic) from regions that do not have efficient and formal waste or recycling systems can be exchanged by local residents for rewards such as cash, school tuition, healthcare and insurance, or as Blockchain-secured digital tokens increasing their income and providing better opportunities for themselves and their families.
