So what happens to debris from BC Marine Trails annual Vargas Island marine debris cleanup, and marine debris drop zones in Clayoquot Sound?Thanks to The Ocean Legacy Foundation this recovered plastic is taken to their depot in Ucluelet, where it’s sorted by material type, and eventually transformed into Legacy Plastic. Legacy Plastic is a high-grade, 100% post-consumer recycled material made from ocean and shoreline plastics. By turning marine debris into new products, Ocean Legacy helps close the loop on plastic pollution and gives this recovered plastic a second life.Swipe to see the recycled pellets used for The Ocean Legacy Foundation products! Whatever cannot be processed into pellets is sent to Full Circle Plastics to make plastic lumber and outdoor furniture.
