buøy × Food's Note Beautiful fish charms made from marine plastic waste, WISH

We want to take a step towards a future where there will be no more marine plastic waste. WISH fish charms are made almost 100% from plastic waste. They are not colored. *Each item may have slightly different color schemes.

(1) The tag on the product you receive will tell you where the material was collected. (2) It also comes with a slightly larger information card featuring a photo of marine plastic waste.

Cute and fun! Large size makes an impact. This charm is made almost 100% from ocean plastic waste. The weight of each piece is the weight of the plastic that was floating in the ocean, and each pattern is made from the color of the plastic waste that was discarded.

"buoy" was born from a division of volunteers from a plastic company who thought that although the problem of so much marine plastic waste overflowing into the ocean cannot be easily solved, they might be able to raise the interest of as many people as possible in this issue through buoy. buoy is a brand that exists for a future where plastic waste disappears from the ocean one day and buoy can no longer make anything. It is a brand that could only be created by a company that handles plastic. It is wonderful that they have taken degraded plastic that has become marine waste and upcycled it into beautiful items and products by utilizing the special plastic processing and molding technology they have cultivated over the years.

Garbage washes up all over Japan... The tags on the products we deliver will tell you where the material was collected, and there is a big meaning and purpose behind this. "Marine debris" was once hated as plastic waste, but these charms have been transformed from something that was once thrown away into something beautiful that cannot be thrown away, and we hope they will become a bridge between people in areas where garbage washes up and those in areas where it does not wash up... We hope that through Buoy, more people will become interested in this issue!

Plastic waste washes up all over Japan. The amount is unimaginable. For example, more than 3,000 tons of waste washes up every year in Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture alone. Most of the waste washes up in the Sea of Japan in winter, on the west coast of Kyushu, or on remote islands, and is mainly collected by volunteer groups without even the locals knowing about it.

Some quite large ones wash ashore too.

Thank you so much.

"Buoy" carefully cleans and crushes the plastic waste it purchases from various locations, and then sorts it by collection location and color for storage.
