Iranpolymer\/ Baspar\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em>Among the commitments and statements made last week on World Oceans Day, one in particular stood out. Bantam Materials UK, the supplier of Prevented Ocean Plastic in Europe, announced a particularly ambitious new mission, namely the opening of 25 new plastic waste collection centres around the world\u00a0 by the year 2025.
\nThe centres will be opened in regions that have historically lacked recycling infrastructure to deal with their plastic waste, including Southeast Asia, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Mediterranean. Twenty centres will be high-capacity collection centres capable of processing 100 tonnes of discarded plastic waste per month, and five will be bigger \u2018aggregation centres\u2019 able to process up to 500 tonnes per month. By 2025, Prevented Ocean Plastic expects to be collecting 54,000 tonnes of plastic waste per year across the 25 new centres.
\nOver half of the collection centres will be new builds, supported by various partners including the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), who are working directly with Prevented Ocean Plastic Southeast Asia. The other centres will be expansions of existing sites alongside local partners.
\n\u201cUsing our repeatable Prevented Ocean Plastic model, there is no limit to what we can achieve. In the future we would love 25 to become 50, and 50 to become 100 centres, addressing ocean plastic pollution at scale as we continue to grow,\u201d said Raffi Schieir, director of Bantam Materials UK.<\/p>\n

The Prevented Ocean Plastic programme is a global recycling initiative which sees discarded\u00a0plastic bottles being picked up\u00a0by plastic collectors from areas at risk of ocean plastic pollution, who take them to local collection centres\u00a0for payment. At these centres, the\u00a0bottles are sorted\u00a0and pressed for transport to plastic recycling factories, where the plastic is washed, sanitised and processed into raw material flakes or pellets, all according to European and North American\u00a0quality standards.<\/p>\n

Each of the new centres will therefore supply the collected material to a recycler complying with the Prevented Ocean Plastic Standards developed in accordance with the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) base code, follow the Code of Good Practice developed by ISEAL, and Bantam Materials\u2019 Good Manufacturing Practices and best-in-class traceability process.
\nThe recycled plastic, called Prevented Ocean Plastic, is fully certified and used by supermarkets and brands around the world. It meets regulatory health and safety standards, is traceable back to source and can be identified on packaging through its distinctive triangular blue logo.<\/p>\n

The announcement of the new 25 by 2025 mission was accompanied by the news that Prevented Ocean Plastic had also celebrated the grand opening of the first new collection centre, in Semarang, Indonesia, in a partnership between USAID and Prevented Ocean Plastic Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

Indonesia currently ranks as the number two source for ocean plastic pollution. The new centre will process 500 tonnes per month, helping to address the growing volumes of waste in Semarang, one of the largest cities in Java, Indonesia, and expand recycling in the region, while at the same time creating 40 direct jobs.
\n\u201cAt a time when there\u2019s a lot of negative talk about the future of the planet, it\u2019s good to be doing something that has an immediate, positive impact on people and their local communities,\u201d said Schieir. \u201cBy choosing recycled and looking for the Prevented Ocean Plastic logo, we can all support responsible sourcing through these tangible, brick-and-mortar builds.\u201d
\nUSAID\u2019s lead ocean plastics and urban advisor Clare Romanik said USAID was proud to partner with Prevented Ocean Plastic Southeast Asia.
\n\u201cThis partnership demonstrates the power of blended finance as a model to scale solutions to the plastic crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
