About Ocean Elves

Ocean Elf is a comprehensive service provider focusing on marine environmental protection。The entire process of marine waste recycling is managed through digital and traceable technology to ensure the added value of marine waste.

Ocean Elves collects marine debris by organizing the public, fishermen, and marine workers。They are sent to the Ocean Elf Factory and are sorted, deeply cleaned, melted and other special processes to give them a new lifeProduce high-value plastic products that are more in line with international ecological and environmental protection concepts…such as clothing and adult products ！

Collecting and storing: multiple ways to increase motivation 

        In order to increase the enthusiasm of front-end collection, the income from the sale of products will be “fed back” to those involved in the recycling of marine plastics.   The price of recycling discarded plastic bottles by Ocean Elf is nearly 10 times higher than the recycling price of ordinary plastic bottles                              

Do people cheat?

Fishing boats returning from the sea will take the used abandoned fishing nets, foam plastics, plastic bottles, plastic bags, and marine waste salvaged with the fish off the boat and hand them over to the nearby Ocean Spirit stations. [20 stations have been set up].
If there are too many wastes on the boat when going out to sea.App to report the plastic bottles, fishing nets, waste oil and other wastes that need to be recycled. In this app, report the location and item information, and a boat will come to recycle them. 

  On the beach, nearby fishermen and volunteers wearing blue vests picked up plastic bottles washed ashore one by one with clips and put them into plastic bags. The cameras on their chests recorded the entire process and location of their picking up. It should be noted that in order to ensure that the bottles are really from within 3 kilometers of the coastline, the electronic fence program will prompt if they cross the boundary.

How much plastic is in the ocean right now?
An estimated 75 million to 199 million tons of plastic waste is currently in the ocean, with an additional 33 billion pounds of plastic entering the marine environment each year. This constant flow of plastic production is simply too much for existing waste management and recycling infrastructure to sustain.

From microplastics in the food chain to plastic water bottles floating on the surface, plastic pollution permeates every inch of the ocean. The most famous example is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. This monolith of ocean pollution is made up of a variety of marine debris, contains 1.8 trillion plastic fragments, and covers an area twice the size of Texas.

Don’t use destructive alternatives to plastics
The report warns against the use of destructive alternatives to single-use plastic products and other plastic products, such as bio-based or biodegradable plastics, which currently pose chemical threats similar to traditional plastics.

The report examines serious market failures, such as the low price of virgin fossil fuel feedstocks compared to recycled materials, the disconnect between informal and formal plastic waste management efforts, and the lack of consensus on global solutions.

Integrated governance
UNEP calls for an immediate reduction in plastic use and encourages transformation across the plastic value chain. This requires further investment in stronger and more effective monitoring systems to identify the source, scale and fate of plastics, and the development of risk frameworks, which are currently lacking globally. Ultimately, a shift to circularity is necessary, including sustainable consumption and production practices, accelerated development and adoption of alternatives by businesses, and increased consumer awareness to enable more responsible choices.
