Materiality: Marine Debris

In collaboration with Spark and Burnish Vert design created and produced door knobs made from marine debris plastic.

Marine debris is a mix of plastic pollutants that have been collected from the environment. Our thinking was how to ttirn a source of waste into a valuable resource.

The development process of the ocean plastic collection - developing a new material and a process which allows us to buy waste plastic from collection groups and turn it into a number of commercially viable products developed in house at Vert Design Studio.
