According to a World Economic Forum report, eight million tonnes of plastic enters the ocean every year. To put it in more shocking terms, this is equal to a garbage truck of plastic being dumped into the ocean every minute.
The report also predicts plastic will outnumber fish by weight in our oceans by 2050 if no action is done to prevent new plastic pollution and clean up the sea.
To raise awareness around this issue, Ecostore teamed up with Pack Tech, a world leader in creating circular supply chains that helps transform waste plastic into beautiful packaging. It recently helped clean up over half a tonne of ocean waste plastic from the JAva Sea in Bali and a river in Jakarta in Indonesia.
The limited edition handwash features packaging made 100 percent from plastic ocean waste, and illsutrations by Auckland-based artist Tom Cottle that represent the ocean.
