COLLECTING WASTE Besides fish the fishermen collect and select the waste. In the harbour they can put it in garbage bins. Most of the plastic that comes out of the sea are fishing nets and plastic bottles. MAKING SEAQUAL-YARN The recycled PET resins are used to make high quality SEAQUAL-yarn. This yarn is always white. We combine it with recycled cotton to make our SeaTowel and AquaSocks. FISHING We work with a network of fishermen who collect plastic from the sea. Fishermen are encouraged to clean fishing grounds. Not only will there be less plastic, there will also be more fish and profit. REHEAT PET Polyethyleentereftalaat (PET) has the ability to be reheated and reused easily. The PET chips are reheated and filtered to remove contamination. The result is chopped in smaller similar resins which is a new recycled raw material. SEAQUAL INITIATIVE Plastic is destroying marine life like never before. We work with the SEAQUAL initiative. Their goal is to clean oceans and they support clean-up initiatives around the world. SHREDDING BOTTLES The waste is delivered to a processing plant where PET bottles are selected. They are cleaned and shredded to obtain smaller PET chips. These flakes are around 1x1 cm. 1 2 6 5 3 4
