It is a colorful photo frame made from marine plastic waste.
All buoy products are made from marine plastic waste collected in various parts of Japan. It is made of colors that have washed ashore by accident 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.
Each product clearly indicates the area where the garbage has washed ashore. You can really feel the problem of marine litter in Japan.
In addition, if you read the QR code attached to the product, you can see the information of the beach cleanup organization that collected each of them.

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.
