The Problem

Marine plastic pollution is a consequence of people thinking:

It’s only one piece of plastic, what harm can it do?

The sea is vast, rubbish will not affect it adversely.

My life is not affected by plastics in the oceans.

Climate change has nothing to do with marine plastics.

The Reality

But the truth of the matter is:

There are over 51 trillion microplastics in the sea and counting. 500 times more than the stars in our galaxy.

Plastics are in the food chain!

1/3 of all fish caught off UK shores have plastics in them.

Seafood eaters ingest up to 11,000 tiny pieces of plastic every year with dozens of particles becoming embedded in human tissues.

The degradation and breakdown of plastics represents a previously unrecognized source of greenhouse gases.

Current Locations

A solution based approach

The BinForGreenSeas is a recycling bin for plastics but….

Its striking colours, height, shape and emotive tagline, are all designed to act on two levels: Direct and Subconscious.

While practical, the objective of the BinForGreenSeas is to educate. The strong visual graphics stimulates the electrochemical signals sent to the brain.

It delivers the message; using any bin to dispose of litter will help save marine life.

“Great” Oceanic Garbage Patches

Out in the Pacific lies one of our planets largest islands. Here, there are no golden beaches of sand, this island is made almost entirely from what we throw away. It is known as the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch.”
