Marlow Ropes’ new dockline is made from recycled plastic bottles<\/p>\n
INDUSTRY DATABASE<\/p>\n
MARLOW ROPES LTD<\/p>\n
Marlow Ropes\u2019 Blue Ocean Dockline is manufactured using yarn made from 100% recycled plastic bottles.<\/p>\n
The line is available pre-spliced in 12mm and 16mm diameters from 6m to 15m long and is exclusive to Marlow\u2019s mooring series.<\/p>\n
\u201cVirtually every piece of plastic ever made still exists in some shape or form \u2014 unless it’s been incinerated,\u201d said Jim Mitchell, Marlow Ropes MD. \u201cRe-using something as available as plastic water bottles curbs discards, reduces toxic emissions from incinerators, diverts waste from landfills and of course, requires fewer resources overall to be made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Energy<\/p>\n
Seven and half waste plastic bottles are used to make one metre of the new line; the production process uses 60% less energy and there is a 32% CO2 emissions reduction.<\/p>\n
\u201cLike many progressive organisations, we are extremely conscious of our environmental impact and ensure that our manufacturing and waste management systems are in line with our environmental policy,\u201d added Jim. \u201cAll our manufacturing waste yarn is recycled where it can be and this includes HMPE, polyester, nylon and aramid fibres.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new line is woven at Marlow Ropes\u2019 manufacturing site in Sussex.<\/p>\n
