Interface & Plastic Whale Create Boat from 7,000 Recycled Plastic Bottles

La Grange, GA, March 18, 2016—Interface has joined forces with Plastic Whale to design and create a unique boat made from more than 7,000 plastic bottles fished from the canals of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, according to Edie.net.

The collaboration between Interface and Plastic Whale hopes to raise awareness of the dangers of river and ocean pollution and drive plastic waste elimination from global waters and is in line with Interface’s Net-Works program, which enables local residents to collect discarded fishing nets and sell them back to the company for conversion into carpet fiber.

The boat will be used each day to fish more waste out of the water systems and put a spotlight on the effects of plastic waste.
