According to a report by the
Ellen McArthur foundation, it is expected the global production of plastics is going to double over the next two decades, yet only 14% of this amount is actually collected and sent back into new production processes. If this trend continue, there could be more plastic than fish (by weight) in our oceans by 2050.
The main reason for the low recycling rates is the lack of commercial viability in the reverse logistic chains of plastic materials.
In order to reduce the impact of plastic on the planet, Gypsy Amazon has financed the collection, sorting and reintroduction of
2 TONS OF PLASTICs into the recycling chain.
Along with the launch of their new collection they are increasing that volume to 5 tons.
