Thanks to the recent Paris Agreement fiasco, climate change is again finding itself front and centre of debate. But, short of moving into politics yourself, there is a way for everyone to be involved in making a change.

Case and point is Marine Debris Bakelite. A genius material constructed from 100% recycled plastic waste that has been washed onto and collected from Australian beaches. The waste has been cleverly granted a new lease on life in its new form as designer dinnerware. It’s a far cry from its former life, devastating the ocean’s flora and fauna alike.

Marine Debris Bakelite is the creation of sustainable creators Sarah K and Andrew Simpson of Supercyclers. The duo have launched a crowd-funded project on Pozible in the hopes to see mass amounts of discarded marine waste transformed into something useful, as well as chic. Partnering with some of the world’s top designers, there are a handful of different tableware designs to choose from. There’s Jasper Morrison’s Serving Bowl, Jonathan Zawada’s Percent Water Jug, and Kirstie Van Noort’s Cup included.

“We decided to crowdfund the production as we like the idea that anyone who cares about the ocean and good design can participate and help clean up our oceans from wherever they are – pledges are rewarded with the objects themselves so its really a sustainable way to pre-purchase the works and make them to order,” the Supercyclers explain of the campaign. Crowd funding runs until June 12 and welcomes pledges for individual objects as well as for donations. More information about the campaign can be found online.
