I was caught in a ghost net while working offshore in India, so I know exactly how bad all the plastic and waste that ends up or is thrown into rivers, lakes, and ultimately our seas and oceans on a daily basis can do.
The saddest thing is finding plastic waste on the most beautiful and isolated beaches in the world. Not to mention the pitiful conditions of beaches and waterways where recycling is not even taken into consideration (for now!)
CleanHub uses technology to keep plastic out of the sea by implementing waste recovery where there is none. Their solution enables brands like us to fund and advance plastic recovery in coastal communities across Asia and Africa with the greatest risk of plastic entering the ocean.
The best thing we can do even in our own small way is to prevent this waste from ending up infecting the oceans.
That’s why this year, we've committed to collecting 3,600 kg of plastic waste before it can reach the ocean.
I find Cleanhub's approach which involves and educates people extremely interesting, giving them the know-how to collect, recycle and reuse household waste rather than throwing it into the water, at the mercy of the current.
I decided to help Cleanhub's cause, for the good of the oceans, and ultimately of all of us...
...and thanks to your purchases on our website www.puffer.ch you can help too!
In fact, for each item purchased we undertake, in addition to the monthly quota of 300kg of plastic, to finance the further disposal of 1lb of plastic for each item in your cart.
