What does it mean when a product bears the Ocean Waste Plastic label?
When you buy a product labeled by Ocean Waste Plastic, you help clean up the world's oceans and rivers. In collaboration with the ReSea project, they collect plastic from the world's oceans 1:1 against the packaging weight every time a new Ocean Waste Plastic branded product is produced.
Products with the Ocean Waste Plastic label are also made with recycled plastic to keep existing plastic in circulation and minimize the use of new virgin plastic.
The majority of all products from ZENZ Version 2.0 are labeled by Ocean Waste Plastic. Look for the OWP logo if you want to support them with your purchase.
What happens to collected Ocean Waste Plastic?
The ReSea project collects plastic from seas and rivers near the coast of Jakarta, Indonesia. The collected plastic is sorted and passed on to local waste banks, which send the plastic for recycling.

What is the packaging of Ocean Waste Plastic products made of?
The packaging on products marked by Ocean Waste Plastic is made with recycled plastic from consumption and industry in our part of the world.
When you use OWP-labeled products from ZENZ Organic Products, you are therefore helping to take care of our planet by recycling plastic, so that together we can reduce the production of new virgin plastic.
