Claims

Claims Ocean Plastic Content

Origin

The source claims recycled content recovered from oceans or 'ocean-bound' sources — emotive provenance that needs chain-of-custody to mean anything.

You might see it written as: ocean plastic · ocean-bound plastic · marine plastic · recycled ocean plastic

Speaks to: Ecosystem health · Circular economy

High greenwash risk

Often stated without the evidence to back it up — verify before specifying.

Ask what share is genuinely ocean-recovered and who verified the supply chain.

What backs it up

  • Global Recycled Standard Certificate

    Must be at least: Third-party verified

    Check it states: Certificate Number, Recycled Percentage, Valid Until

    'Ocean-bound' means collected near coastlines, not from the sea — a much weaker claim.
