GARDEN DESIGN
and rapid scalability . What this means is that businesses , such as LifestyleGarden ®, can truly see how their product is impacting communities and people , as well as being able to determine where material has been collected and by which collector – this kind of closed-loop economy has never before been seen in the UK furniture market .
To date , LifestyleGarden ®’ s commitment to Social Plastic ® has resulted in the equivalent of 11 million plastic bottles being prevented from reaching our oceans , as well as positively impacting two communities and more than 400 people . A further 2.2million bottles will bolster these numbers throughout the 2022 / 23 season . All of this helps LifestyleGarden ® and its parent company , ScanCom , to contribute to the UN Sustainable 17 Development Goals .
LifestyleGarden ®’ s involvement is part of a much bigger picture , however . To date , Plastic Bank has helped to prevent the equivalent of over 2 billion plastic bottles reaching our oceans and has ecosystems in four countries : the Philippines , Indonesia , Brazil , and Egypt , with plans for further expansion in 2022 . LifestyleGarden ® is proud to be one of the global partners that are working to bring Social Plastic ® to the masses .
The collected plastic waste is washed , flaked , and goes through a recycling process , where it is then pelletised and integrated into products and packaging as part of a closed-loop supply chain . These pellets are what LifestyleGarden ® will use to “ power ” its Nassau collection , every item of which will be created within its in-house manufacturing facilities , which enables LifestyleGarden ® to ensure complete traceability of material and product .
