PLASTIC PLAYGROUND
Fully recycled playground tiles from discarded fishing nets
Idea category: Recycled plastic tiles

Monique Moel & Marielle Chartier (responsible for the Circle Economy agenda of the Port of Rotterdam)
Plastic Playground uses discarded fishing nets to create playgrounds; from upcycled volleyball nets to fully recycled playground tiles. Plastic Playgrounds recycles HDPE fishing nets into playgrounds. Anything from upcycled volleyball nets to fully recycled playground tiles. They recycle these nets into durable, circular and awesome products. Of course we want to focus on processing and selling the products made from fishing nets, but we also want to put a strong accent on education and awareness. Our goal? No more waste in the ocean. Nets do it!
Target market & audience
- Schools (6807 schools in ‘basis-’ & ‘middelbaar onderwijs’ in The Netherlands)
- Municipalities (335 municipalities in The Netherlands)
- Sport facilities (28.210 Sportfacilities in The Netherlands)
- Outdoor or beach related companies (453 Beachbars, no number of outdoor related companies)
- The fishing nets were provided by the help of our partner Port of Rotterdam, Fishing4Litter and Bek & Verburg
PLASTIC PLAYGROUND - Problem or challenge
Problem or challenge of the target market/target audience does this idea (help) solves
Since China closed their borders for plastic waste March 2018, 300 tons of (plastic) fishing nets have been collected by Fishing4Litter and Bek & Verburg in the Port of Rotterdam. Bek & Verburg reached their storage capacity legally enforced on them and are desperate to find a solution to process these nets without burning them. Because every day these nets remain at Bek & Verburg they cause a financial loss and new discarded nets cannot be collected. An estimated 640.000 tons of fishing nets end up in the ocean yearly, causing a worldwide environmental disaster killing millions of marine animals due to entrapment. Next to this these (ghost) nets are responsible for an economic damage of an estimated 200 million euro to the fishing industry, recreational boat use and cargo traffic.
PLASTIC PLAYGROUND - Material, machinery and tools
Material, machinery and tools needed to be used to prototype or produce the idea/ concept
Bek & Verburg collects, sorts, pre washes and shreds the nets. At the start they will offer the nets to us for free. From there we have two processes for the nets. The first is to remain their current form and repurpose them. The second process is to alkaline wash, dry, grind and extrude the plastic to granulates. This process can be outsourced to plastic recycling companies in the Netherlands. We then get the granulate back from them. Promising research we executed shows possibilities to take out the steps grinding and extruding in this process, this will decrease the production price and energy usage by a lot. The fishing nets are made from HDPE.

Currently, the team of Plastic Playground has enjoyed a lot of attention, and turned into a start-up, rolling out their products in across the country. They have found their first assignment with Rijkswaterstaat (a governmental organization, responsible for management of water, roads and public space).

PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE
PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE - the product & target audience
PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE
Fully recycled & custom made business phonecases
Idea category: Recycled business relation gift
Authors:
Sally Diop, Rikke ter Horst, Rushabh Chheda Vivian Elion, Marcella van der Ent
Phone case developed from plastic office waste for the phones that the company provides to its employees. Each piece will have unique colours and use up to 20 grams of recycled plastic.
Target market & audience
Our customers are companies and organisations who actively want to contribute to the circular economy, by reducing/eliminating the amount of plastic waste generated in their office buildings and by making useful products from that waste. Our first clients would be PwC Netherlands and ISS their cleaning services provider, who together employ thousands of people at their offices. The product is made from office waste of service company (foils, plastic bags, cleaning liquid bottles, jerry cans and food packaging).
PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE - Problem or challenge
Problem or challenge of the target market/target audience does this idea (help) solves
We help companies to achieve circularity and be environmentally sustainable. PwC has set for themselves the goal of being fully circular by 2030. Their ultimate challenge for the coming years is to reduce their CO2 footprint. By recycling each kilo of plastic we help conserve 3kg of CO2 emissions, in comparison to if the plastic was incinerated. While also replacing other products made using virgin materials.
PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE - Material, machinery and tools
Material, machinery and tools needed to be used to prototype or produce the idea/ concept
The phonecases are made from plastic waste stream which mainly contain PET, LDPE (foils, plastic bags etc.), HDPE (Cleaning liquid bottles, jerry cans, etc.) and PP (food packaging). For the current prototype we will partner up with Suez. We take in clean, sorted and shredded plastics. To produce the products, we will collaborate with two companies, Conscious Designs and Community Plastics, both from Rotterdam, who have the machines and expertise to produce our first line of products, such as 3D printing materials.
PLASTIC REBOUND PHONECASE - Business/Scale and Impact
Business/Scale and Impact:
Being a new company, we would recycle upto 20% of our customers’ plastic waste and as our company grows and as we achieve some stability, the second phase would be to recycle upto 50% of their waste plastic and the final phase would be to achieve 80-100% plastic recycling. Once we scale up, we plan to process the waste plastic ourselves. This model can then be applied for our future clients who also want to go circular. We estimate that we would need an initial investment of 20,000 euros for setting up our infrastructure. We propose to finance this by asking our client to divert some of their funds which they spend on disposing their waste, to us, which will be assumed as a subscription fee. The diverted funds will be directly proportional to the amount of waste we recycle for them.

POR-TRAY THE FUTURE
POR-TRAY THE FUTURE - the product & target audience
POR-TRAY THE FUTURE
Fully recycled & catering trays
Idea category:Recycled plastic catering
Authors:
Por-tray wants to create a plastic waste free catering. So we are going to produce serving trays for the customers (companies) of Sodexo. These serving trays will be made out of two years of plastic waste from these companies. Every catering owns around 300 trays.
Target market & audience
- Caterers & facility management companies
- Corporate restaurant owners
- Sport & school restaurants
POR-TRAY THE FUTURE - Problem or challenge
Problem or challenge of the target market/target audience does this idea (help) solves
We can make sure that the whole PP waste stream is been re-used in new durable products that can be used in the kitchen itself. This way we created a solution for the plastic waste that comes out of the kitchen but mono packaged products that are sold in the catering to the customers are still an issue. We are also overpricing the trays so we have enough money to develop a solution for these monopackages. We realize:
- Existing logistics to transport the plastic
- No more need for new plastic
- Co2 reduction of 117.250Kg annually by re-using 35 tons PP
- Combine multiple steps to avoid transportation
POR-TRAY THE FUTURE - Material, machinery and tools
Material, machinery and tools needed to be used to prototype or produce the idea/ concept
We analysed the plastic waste stream that comes out of the kitchen and we found out that the largest part (in weight) of that stream exists of Polypropylene (PP). An estimated 75 kg of PP comes out of the catering of Sodexo every year, multiply that with the 400 locations Sodexo services and you’ll get a whopping 30.000 kg. We will start with this stream, because this will make the biggest impact. One essential link in our system is to obtain pure waste streams. To fulfil this need, two approaches are possible. On one hand, the plastic waste can be separated on location by the employees of the kitchen. This requires a clear and easy to use explanation to the employees. It must become a habit to separate plastic. It’s really important that the employees are involved in this process. A list with pictures of what must be collected in a separate bin is provided to help them. On the other hand, we could also develop a new system to separate plastics based on their unique barcodes and compare them to a setup database. This is the more expensive option but will result in less mistakes and a higher purity of the stream. After separation we need to shred and wash the waste to make it ready for production. Due to high costs of manufacturing many different products in small batches, we will collaborate with manufacturers of catering products to use our own material trough their processes to minimize these production investments.
POR-TRAY THE FUTURE - Business/Scale and Impact
Business/Scale and Impact:
We developed a five-year plan consisting out of three phases to reach our goal. The biggest stream within the waste is polypropylene (PP). That is why we focus on this stream. In the first phase, we produce serving trays from plastic waste created in the kitchen of the catering. By selling the trays for triple the price we can raise enough money to create a product line made out of the plastic waste. Our main goal is to re-use all the plastic waste into new products used in caterings. However, we will focus on serving trays during the first phase of our start-up. Every catering location has around 300 trays so there is a big market for this product. Moreover, trays are also an icon in catering. By starting off with one product we can keep the investment as low as possible. In addition, the quantities are high enough to invest. We are going to sell the serving trays for triple the price of a normal one. That money is used to create more products that fulfil their client’s needs.
