Nurture Hospitality Group (NHG) has launched an innovative hotel guest amenities line, made entirely from beach-collected plastic.
NHG says it is the first hospitality guest bathroom amenity supply company in the world to manufacture 1oz -2oz plastic liquid containers and caps 100% from beach collected plastics. The plastic is collected from the beaches and waterways in communities in Haiti and Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
These bottles are cleansed and reprocessed into new resins that are then made into elegant and high-quality bottles, caps and tubes carrying the "nOcean" trademarked brand. Next, they are filled with premium quality liquids containing many natural - organic ingredients from all 6 continents.
The nOcean (NO OCEAN) plastics manufactured by NHG has the potential to create a paradigm shift within the guest amenity industry, the compay says -- an industry that produces billions of portion size hotel bottles and tubes that are used and often discarded by guests across the world. A percentage of which will end up in waterways and oceans.
"With an estimated 315 billion tons of plastics in the oceans today and growing at a shocking rate of 8 million tons per annum, NHG made a conscious decision that having our plastics manufactured from collected, and then processing ocean plastics, was the foundation on which we would build our company and manufacture our liquid containers," says Lopez, president NHG.
Lopez adds, "To read that by 2050 scientists are projecting if we don't stop the flow of plastics into our oceans there could be more plastic in the oceans by weight than fish. Fish that ingest these plastic particles and find their way onto our dinner plates and into our bodies and those of our children."
