rPET Sheets Made With
Certified Ocean-Bound Plastic

A Win-Win For Responsible Brands & Our Oceans

Every minute, a full garbage truck worth of plastic waste gets dumped into our oceans. While there is no silver bullet to solving ocean plastic pollution, your packaging can serve as a powerful medium for preventing ocean-bound plastic leaks right from the source.

AVI Global is India’s first rigid packaging company to be certified by Ocean Bound Plastic Certification by Control Union & Zero Plastic Oceans. By designing our recycled PET sheets and thermoformed packaging with certified OBP content, we support brands in doubling-up their environmental wins with recycled content that not just complies with plastic laws but also lowers marine pollution.

What is Ocean-Bound Plastic?

Ocean-bound plastic (OBP) is defined as plastic waste within 50 km of shorelines at risk of ending up in oceans and is responsible for generating about 80% of marine plastic litter. According to the Ellen McArthur Foundation, OBP adds up to nearly 8 million tonnes of plastic leaks yearly, while rising by 5% every year. If current levels of OBP go unchecked, there could be more plastic than fish in our oceans by 2050.
