Today, our technology is used to color a wide range of plastics, including – now – those recovered from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
Founded in 1979 with a vision of creating a new way to color plastics – using encapsulated pigments instead of powders – our first product was Holcobatch ®, a highly concentrated, dust-free carrier for coloring PVC pipes. Holcobatch ® sustainable plastic color concentrate This partnership aligns perfectly, not only with our commitment to sustainability today, but also with our roots as a company. Specifically, The Ocean Cleanup was looking for two different shades of blue that could be dosed simultaneously to create a swirl pattern that would mimic the ocean. For the plastic frame of the sunglasses, we delivered a biobased color concentrate to color the captured ocean plastics. 100% of proceeds go back to The Ocean Cleanup to fund the continuation of the cleanup. We wish even greater success to The Ocean Cleanup team.” Color concentrates in a biobased carrier for standout sunglasses Over the last months, Holland Colours has worked closely with The Ocean Cleanup team to tailor our sustainable color concentrates in a biobased carrier (biobased color concentrates) to the requirements of the organization’s first product made with certified ocean plastic: sunglasses. We need to move to a more sustainable world, so we want to help such initiatives where we can by adding value to their recycled end product. Our mission is to contribute to the development of a sustainable industry and to co-design color and functional solutions with our customers. “We are delighted to be a The Ocean Cleanup partner,” commented Gina Provó Kluit, Global Marketing Director of Holland Colours. The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization developing advanced technologies to rid the world’s oceans of plastic, seeks long-term partnerships with companies that want to help to solve one of the biggest environmental problems of our times. Holland Colours partners with The Ocean Cleanup For this reason, we joined The Ocean Cleanup, the groundbreaking plastic cleanup organization founded by Dutch inventor Boyan Slat, in 2013. As a supplier of color concentrates to the plastics industry, sustainability and social responsibility are topics that Holland Colours takes extremely seriously. Plastic pollution, which is already found in every one of the world’s oceans, is a major and growing concern.
