Soap bottle
from recycled marine plastic

Ocean Plastic Soap Bottle

The ocean plastic 2-in-1 dish + hand soap by method consists of recycled plastic as well as plastic collected by volunteers and clean-up groups on Hawaiian beaches. In this way, over a ton of the collected plastic was passed on to methods recycling partner Envision Plastics for further processing. The grayish color of the bottles is due to the different origin of the material. By using already existing plastic for the production of the Ocean Plastic Soap Bottle, method succeeds in making an important contribution to the current environmental problem and thus sends the signal that plastic products do not require the use of “virgin materials”, but only a sensibly thought-out use of resources.
