Every year, over 8 million tonnes of plastic are dumped into the ocean. «As a global company, we were looking for a partner to address this issue and help us contribute to the environment with a product innovation» says Christoph Borer, CEO of WINTER & COMPANY. The company #tide has specialised in the recycling of ocean bound plastic. The company collects and sorts plastic waste in Southeast Asia, where it is a high pollution. The plastic waste is collected there by local employees, including many fishermen, with fair conditions and transported to Switzerland in a CO2-neutral way. The collected plastic waste is compressed into granules using a mechanical award-winning process and finally spun into yarn, which is the main component of TOILE OCEAN.

After 1.5 years of development, WINTER & COMPANY has created an innovative and sustainable cover material with TOILE OCEAN. The naturally mottled fabric feels very high-quality to touch. The product, mainly made of ocean plastic, is woven from 100% recycled plastic waste and coated with water-based acrylic. The product is characterised by its high durability. TOILE OCEAN can be offset printed and finished with screen printing and foil stamping. Ideal applications are book covers, premium packaging or menu cards. TOILE OCEAN is also suitable for hang tags, carrier bags or stationery items. TOILE OCEAN is available from stock in six natural colours. The highlight: for every metre of TOILE OCEAN sold, 1% of the turnover goes to clean water projects.
