welcome to wild plastic

RID THE WILD
Plastic's in a lot of places it shouldn't be. With over 14 Billion pounds of garbage entering the oceans each year and 90% of that being plastic it's never been a better time to turn our attention to the effects that these petrochemical-based polymers are having on our marine environment.
So we create awareness by organizing beach clean-ups to rid the wild of plastic to make a difference at the ground level, literally. If you're local, you'll even see our team walking the beach in-between events cleaning up our shores.

UPCYCLING
Plastic recovered and intercepted from the wild supplies us with the raw material we need to turn a single-use polluting object into a more valuable, household item. We call it upcycling.
Everything here is very unique and handmade from 100% locally-recovered plastic with our custom shredder, injection and extrusion machines. First, we clean and categorize the plastic by type and color, then shred it to bits, and either extrude it or inject it into a mold. The final result product possibilities are endless.
Through this process the plastic now has an end-of-life point and should never see a landfill or an ocean.
HOW WE UPCYCLE

1. CLEAN, SORT & SHRED
The recovered plastic waste is de-labeled, cleaned and sorted by type and color. Then, with extreme caution, the plastic is loaded into the shredder and shredded into flakes by 14 stainless steel blades. Powered by a 3HP electric motor and a Variable Frequency Drive (for managing R.P.M.) we can create the torque needed to process any plastic with a maximum thickness of 2mm.
Any finished product that does not meet our standards can also put back in the shredder to be processed again, ensuring zero-waste.

2. CREATE
The shredded pieces are loaded into either the extrusion or injection machine's hopper to be extruded around a custom mold or injected into a mold (ex. coasters). The plastic is then forced through a barrel wrapped in 4 heaters at high heat. HDPE, for example heats up to 450ºF.
Coming out of the nozzle is melted plastic filament to be made into countless valuable items. We can mix different colors of plastic to make new color variations, similar to paint. We never use any dyes or other additives. The plastic contracts as it cools so we have to use special molds to ensure we can remove the completed piece or else it must be cut off. Bonding to itself within minutes, a durable and solid object is now created.

3. A PERMANENT ITEM
After the finished product is tested for strength and inspected, the Wild Plastic logo (also made from extruded recycled plastic) is applied and is now ready to be added to our store.
We have now completed the cycle of turning a plastic item that did or could have harmed hundreds of marine life into a household item that doesn't ever need to be discarded.

REUSABLES
We believe single-use plastic should be a thing of the past. This is why at our Marketplace we carry a range of reusable single-use plastic alternatives to the most popular used and discarded items we see in the wild. The impact we'd have towards plastic pollution by switching to reusable products would be outstanding.
However, we understand that sometimes disposable items are needed, but fossil fuel-based single-use plastics are not the answer; they're the problem. So we also provide plenty of compostable plant-based products to ensure that the demand for conventional single-use plastic is kept at a minimum.
Every purchase saves the earth from one less plastic item produced, one less plastic item at our landfills, and one less plastic item in our oceans. #oneless
We feel there's a thin line between donating and shopping at our Marketplace. When you check out, think of it as donating while receiving a thank you gift that helps our planet.

COMPOSTABLES
We also understand the typical consumer is not totally at fault for the issues we are seeing today from plastic pollution. Restaurant-based take out order waste is a prime source of the 500 Million pounds of plastic currently floating around in our oceans. In addition, recent studies show companies in the food industry are wasting $11.4 Billion per year from poor food packaging practices.
This is extremely unsustainable and inefficient, so we started the TideTurners™ program to assist businesses in the food industry and private events, such as weddings and parties, become more eco-friendly and sustainable by supplying them with innovative compostable products through reputable environmentally conscious brands.
This way we get to the root of this issue and take power away from a polluting industry.

DONATE
We really hope the value and scope of Wild Plastic is clear, as it's very much an uphill battle against the plastic pollution crisis we're in.
However, we believe if we work together it is surpassable. This is why we are a proud member of 1% FOR THE PLANET. We donate a portion of our sales to select foundations with our same goals, so we can all grow to make a difference.
Wild Plastic is merely a vehicle to solve a worldwide issue so we also accept donations directly. Our goal is to end plastic pollution, not shareholder profit so 100% of these donations go towards the growth and efficiency of Wild Plastic to create more of an influence in the years to come.
We greatly appreciate your support!

WHY WILD PLASTIC?
The wild is a place of tranquility and respite from the hustle and bustle of our daily routines that we depend on as a progressing society. But our technology and first-world comforts should never harm or burden the natural environment we coexist with and require for balance. With all the man-made materials we use on a daily basis considered, fossil fuel based polymers are causing the most damage to earth's largest eco-system at an unprecedented rate and needs our attention more than ever to prevent any further harm.
The ocean is, arguably, the most popular place on earth to feel peace and calming energy in abundance. Not only do billions of the worlds inhabitants expect the ocean to deliver that balance, most also depend on what it provides for their livelihood and wellbeing. We as consumers need to be more conscious of how and what we dispose of because the ocean connects us all and what we do on one landmass effects others whether we see the results or not. We need to be the change because the ones who are truly responsible are failing. In addition, marine life are taking an enormous hit and are not evolved to understand why plastic is invading their environment or benefit from its purposes. The staggering statistics on ocean pollution and its effects are more than enough for any decent person to have the desire to adopt an ocean pollution prevention lifestyle whether you live in a land-locked state or on an island. However, we need assistance to adopt such lifestyle to ensure the transition is as seamless as possible.
This is the objective of Wild Plastic. An ocean plastic prevention company with a mission: Rid the wild of plastic via beach clean-ups, upcycle recovered plastic into permanent household items, and provide alternatives to fossil fuel based single-use plastics to strike to the root of the issue. With the services and products Wild Plastic supplies, I believe we now have a one-stop shop to prevent plastic from disturbing our delicate marine environment that we depend in so many ways so we can continue to enjoy this mysterious and serene world in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Phil Scarlata
