Marine equipment and technology supplier Gael Force Group is partnering with a business that works to turn waste into recyclable garden products.
Ocean Plastic Pots transforms raw material from rope offcuts into distinctively coloured plant pots.
The idea to team up with the firm came from Gael Force’s warehouse supervisor Dougie Grant, who submitted the proposal through the company’s employee idea forum, Force for Good, after seeing a feature about it on television.
Gale Force Group marketing manager Marc Wilson said: “Leftover material from our production is inevitable, just like it is in construction, engineering or other manufacturing.
“In partnership with Ocean Plastic Pots and through the determination of our team to help minimise the impact our operations have on the environment, we have found a way in which we can help create a circular economy.”
As a result of Gale Force’s involvement Glasgow-based Ocean Plastic Pots has produced its first batch of “Burton” pots made from distinctive yellow SeaQureLine.
The line is available to view and buy online at www.oceanplasticpots.com
