WoW! This cheerful umbrella does not only protect you perfectly against heavy rainfall, it is also 100% sustainable! To make 1 umbrella, 5 plastic bottles are shredded into small grains. A new material is then extracted from this: RPET from which a broad ...variety of products can be made, like this umbrella. Interesting facts: all RPET products make a positive contribution to the environment. For example, 90% less water is used in the processing of RPET and 70% less CO2 is emitted than in the production of ordinary plastic. And last but not least: every day millions of plastic bottles are thrown away. 80% of the costs of a bottle of water are production costs of the bottle. Recycling is therefore also economically smart … But not only that! With the purchase of this product you also support the Plastic Bank – an international organization with two main goals that concern us all: reducing poverty and reducing the plastic soup in the oceans that is an environmental catastrophe. Plastic Bank pays people in developing countries to collect the plastic from the 5 most polluting rivers in the world. From this plastic waste, which therefore no longer ends up in the oceans, the so-called RPET material is made, allowed to carry internationally recognized Social Plastic® label.
