This (recycled plastic) sail
is being constructed for the PLASTIKI Expedition. A Hand
picked crew of adventurers, scientists and creatives are
to sail across the Pacific on the 'Plastiki' - a 60-foot
catamaran made from reclaimed plastic bottles. Their mission
is to beat waste by inspiring sustainable solutions and
to highlight the ecological damage being done to the world's
oceans.
The sailcloth made of post-consumer
PET. PET is used as a raw material for making packaging
materials such as bottles. Recycled plastic made into
sailcloth. Pineapple Sails designed and built the sails
for the Plastiki Expedition. |
