PREVENTING OCEAN WASTE FROM ENTERING THE OCEAN

DuraOcean® is an innovative plastic material made with recycled plastic input material. This allows us to deliver a material that is created with up to 93% recycled base material. The plastic is created from ropes, sourced from harbours and maritime industry areas, allowing LifestyleGarden® to prevent the material from being wasted or polluting the ocean. The plastic waste is transformed into a valuable recycled raw material, which is delivered to us in pellet form. This is done after a series of washing and cleaning of the material, after sorting based on the type of plastic to ensure the highest quality and properties. These pellets are mixed into a resin with other additives – all of which are REACH compliant and recyclable – and injected into our custom-built moulds. The result is a UV-resistant and ergonomically designed product that is supported by our hard-wearing FSC®-certified Brazilian Eucalyptus wood. This combination of nature and plastic is the DuraOcean® chairs and tables.

DuraOcean® chairs are the world’s first commercially available chairs made with marine plastic waste, setting the benchmark for sustainable material usage and design.

The DuraOcean® products are designed for disassembly, meaning that the design allows each component in its purest form to be recycled into new production circles.

Responsibly sourced material

DuraOcean® is made with recycled plastics originating from marine material - mainly consisting of ropes that have been safely prevented from polluting the oceans, cleaned and turned into beautiful chairs and tables. DuraOcean® is fully recyclable, after use you can dispose of the buckets and the top of the tables at a green point station near your home. Most countries have these stations available; as an alternative, you can also leave the plastic buckets and table tops on the container for plastic bottles.

DuraOcean® doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals and it is completely safe for the environment. All the DuraOcean® products have been manufactured according to rigorous standards and in accordance with the EU laws that banned harmful chemicals (REACH). We have made DuraOcean® products from recycled plastic and stabilizers free to reduce our environmental footprint.

Maintenance and care

LifestyleGarden® DuraOcean® products require no maintenance and can be cleaned easily using soap and water. With intense and prolonged exposure to sunlight, the colour may fade slightly so it is highly recommended to cover the items when not in use, and/or store inside during harsh weather and winter.
