Ocean

Made from

Plastic packaging

It’s easy to feel a bit blue about plastic in the oceans. Our Ocean material gets into the heart of the matter; by keeping plastic in our economic system we are doing a small bit to preserve marine beauty. Like all our panels, Ocean should stay beautiful for future generations to come.

Pattern Examples

We make up batches of Ocean material in 5-10 tonne lots and batches will vary depending on the type of packaging we find. The shade and intensity will vary between batches with varying inclusions of multi-colour.

Panel Information

We are a batch manufacturer using craft techniques to make our products. We source a variety of raw materials, and therefore the patterns and colours in our surfaces can vary between batches. If you need to minimise colour variation, please discuss your needs with us before ordering, so we can ensure all your products come from the same batch.

We work hard to ensure our panels are as free from blemishes as possible, but by their nature, no two panels are the same. For us, every quirk, imperfection and mottle tells a different recycling story. Panels are supplied with a single-sided semi-matt finish as standard, and can also be supplied double-sided should your intended application require it. Please specify this when ordering.

Price & Lead Times

Panels are not available for purchase through the website. Please get in touch to enquire about prices, mentioning the quantity and thickness of panels you require. Most stock items will be dispatched within 5 working business days from payment of order. Standard cutting, CNC and simple finishes will be dispatched within 3 weeks. Other items, including complex CNC work, fabrication, assembly work and custom materials, will take a little longer to process. If you need to order something urgently, please contact us first. We will do everything we can to assist you.
