This is the marine life coaster "Whale Shark" from buoy, a brand that turns marine plastic waste into materials.
All of Buoy's products are made of colors that have accidentally washed ashore on the shore without coloring or other processing.
Plastic is characterized by bright colors, but it is characterized by a slightly organic mosaic pattern due to the mixing of multiple colors.
It is a perfect item for a small gift for those who like the sea and those who like colorful colors.

☆ Features of buoy coaster design ☆
(1) The collection area of the marine debris that was used as the material is engraved.
The indication of the collection area, which was previously attached to the sticker, is now engraved on the product. Even if you wash it or buy multiple production areas (collection areas), it will not disappear. We thought that you can take care of buoy for a long time.
(2) Grooves that make it difficult to stick to the glass
The illustration is uneven and prevents the glass from sticking.

Features of buoy's unique technology that turns marine plastic waste into materials
(Buoy is molded using Technolab Co., Ltd.'s proprietary technology, which is based on the premise of using marine plastic waste materials.) Technolab Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent for this technology.)
◆ A unique pattern created because it is molded without separating the materials
All materials are not colored, but molded to take advantage of the color of marine debris. The colors and patterns that are created by chance are determined by the collected drifting garbage.
◆ The weight of the product is the weight of marine litter
Except for the film that coats the product, it is made of marine waste without any mixing, so you can feel the marine litter problem from the weight of the product.
◆ Clearly state the drifting destination of all materials on the product
Buoy receives materials from beach cleanup volunteers and companies all over Japan. These materials are managed separately by season and region, and all products are sold with the sticker of the material production area.
In the hope that people will know about the area where the material was collected due to the production area of buoy, buoy has created an introduction page for the organization.
