WHY SMILE PLASTICS?
01
REDIRECT PLASTIC WASTE
Smile Plastics can divert up to 1,500 tonnes of plastic waste from being downcycled annually as they are composed from single-use plastic items.
02
ZERO WASTE PRODUCTION
Smile Plastics are created using food and medical packaging from pre- and post-consumer sources, and clients are offered a buy-back scheme post product lifecycle.
03
A CIRCULAR SOLUTION
Unlike traditional plastic recycling, Smile Plastics' processes do not degrade the polymer's molecular structure, making it a perfect circular solution.
A BIT ABOUT PLASTIC RECYCLING
-
Within a single decade in the early 2000s, the generation of plastic waste rose more than it had in the previous 40 years.
-
Currently, around 400 million tons of plastic are produced globally every year - less than 10% of that is currently recycled.
-
The level of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the production, use and disposal of conventional fossil fuel-based plastics is forecast to grow to 19% of 2040's global carbon budget.
