Ocean Material empowers consumers to learn the importance of recycling

The Ocean Plastic Recycling Workshop is an interactive learning experience about the problem of Ocean Plastic Pollution and how to turn waste into value. In 2022, we organized over 500 free workshops, where participants learned how to use small-scale recycling machines to turn collected ocean plastic waste into beautiful new products.

NEW: We can even demonstrate the recycling and melting process of ghost nets and other fishing gear.

The activity is exciting, fun and educational, providing knowledge about the importance of recycling and how to become a mindful consumer.

Simple and safe learning with the best equipment on the market

We partnered with the leading manufacturer of small-scale recycling machines to guarantee fun and excitement.

Where is the plastic from?

Plastics used in the workshop are collected from around Hong Kong through the HSBC Clean Waterways Programme’s four zero-emission, solar-powered boats capable of collecting and sorting more than 2,500 litres of floating plastic per load from Victoria and Aberdeen Harbour. We believe Hong Kong can be an inspiration to Asia in recycling that transforms the problem of ocean pollution.
