The new grades were formulated to provide a functional replacement for the previous used prime materials while incorporating 50% recycled ocean- bound plastic content. The new recycled polyolefins have enabled the replacement of fossil fuel-based feedstock with more carbon-friendly recycled ocean-bound plastics. This has helped Plastic Bank in its efforts to prevent plastic waste from entering our oceans and instead use it to reduce poverty.

Plastics are among the most useful and impactful materials on earth. Plastics help us move faster, work smarter, feel better and have more fun. While the value of plastics is undeniable, we fully recognize that plastics and other materials are ending up in places they should not—like our waterways and oceans.

Plastic is a miraculous, versatile material that positively impacts our world. But some plastics are also in places they shouldn’t be, like in our oceans and rivers. However, no one company or country can solve the plastics waste problem.

Gravi-Tech™ REC recycled formulations are density modified engineered polymers based on recycled resin and/or filler from post-industrial recycled (PIR) and/or post-consumer recycled (PCR) sources, including ocean bound plastic waste.
