WHAT IS POLLAST!C
MADE FROM?
POLLAST!C is made from recycled plastic pollution rescued from the environment in Southeast Asia.
It is certified as potential Ocean Bound Plastic – plastic that meets the following criteria:
• has been, or would be, abandoned
• in an area with no formal waste management infrastructure
• is within 50km of the coast.
When plastic pollution has these characteristics it has been scientifically proven to be at high risk of entering the ocean.
Being in a river or the ocean speeds up the process of plastic degrading into microplastic.
Better Packaging Co. collect Ocean Bound Plastic to keep it out of nature.

A SOCIAL SOLUTION
TO PLASTIC POLLUTION
Pollution and poverty are often inextricably linked – and in the communities where Better Packaging work, waste management infrastructure is often non-existent. Plastic rubbish is usually littered, burnt or buried (in piles for livestock and dogs to ferret in).
By working closely and responsibly with communities in these areas, they help them clean up their environment AND have positive social impact. They commit to purchasing the plastic pollution they collect and provide a consistent source of income and help raise their standards of living.
Shown photographed below at the plastic sorting centre is Asniah, one of the Better Packaging Co. collectors who subsidises her work as a farmer by collecting plastic pollution.
Eden chair bags are a durable heavy 50MU or 70MU weight and super-versatile for re-use.
They are 100% recycled Low-Density Polyetheylene (r-LDPE) and can be recycled at soft plastic recycling depots around New Zealand.
