Plastic trash is entering the world's oceans at a rate of as much as 12.7 million metric tons a year, fouling the waters and harming marine life.
Meanwhile, the garbage keeps growing.
PLÁSTICA has chosen to combat this by creating its’ products from 100% PP- Polypropylene plastic waste. Being an inexpensive “moldable” material with a low melt viscosity, PP - Polypropylene is a very popular material in the injection molding world. PP- Polypropylene can be found in everyday items such as food packaging , bottle caps, toys , plastic sheets and tube, film , cds and up to car bumpers. With it’s versatility and wide range of use PP- Polypropylene is one of the primary contributors to the pollution of our oceans/environment due to mass production.
PLÁSTICA has patented a way to not only recycle PP- Polypropylene but also turn it into a sustainable building material. PLÁSTICA can be employed in the same manner as natural wood; for outdoor and indoor projects. The advantage of the product is that it lasts 100 years, not only because it is plastic, but due to its high resistance to corrosion, water, acids, biochemical attack and weathering. Also, due to its high versatility, our plastic timber can be molded, sanded, drilled, screwed and painted fulfilling the most complex design expectations. With the raw material not being appealing to animals PLÁSTICA poses no harm to creatures habitats and can also be used to combat the destruction of or forests.
PLÁSTICA, also, is providing fair pay jobs in Colombia.
