Problem
Plastic waste accumulating within 50 kilometers of coastlines—known as Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP)—is at high risk of degrading into microplastics that pollute marine ecosystems, harm aquatic life, contaminate food chains, and threaten coastal community livelihoods.
Solution
OCYCO builds a sustainable recycling loop for Ocean Bound Plastic through a five-step process: collecting waste with local partners, purchasing it at above-market prices, sorting and preparing materials, processing into certified plastic pellets and fibers, and manufacturing into recycled products. Each item carries a Digital Product Passport that records its origin, collector, and processing journey, with full traceability supported by blockchain technology. The company promotes a "Realistic Sustainability" model that balances economic, social, and environmental impact, enabling global partners and consumers to participate at every stage of the recycling chain. By creating steady income for waste collectors and supplying certified recycled materials to industry, OCYCO aims to restore ecological balance while improving local livelihoods.
Target Audience
Primary customers are environmentally conscious consumers purchasing recycled products, plus businesses seeking certified Ocean Bound Plastic materials and partnership opportunities in circular supply chains.
