Did you know that once plastic hits salt water, it’s already too late?
That’s why we need to save plastic pollution before it reaches the ocean.
Because once it’s in the ocean, a ticking clock starts: within a few days, the plastic is unusable - but it doesn’t go away. It stays. It sticks around like an unwanted party guest - without doing anything but pollute our waters and harm our wildlife - aka the worst sort of guest.
The solution? Collecting the plastic before it reaches the sea.
And turning it into something new and wonderful.
And that’s why we’re sharing with you a brand-new reusable travel cup made from 50% Prevented Ocean Plastic™.
Introducing our new Cirrus 350ml tumbler: it’s all the cup, with none of the guilt - cirrusly.
Read on to find out what, why, and how the Cirrus 350ml tumbler is helping Prevented Ocean Plastic™ reach its goals.

With every cup used, customers are actively contributing to a more circular future.
This is the first time anyone has been able to make a food-grade polypropylene product containing recycled material. The tumblers are recycled into food-safe, EU-approved post-consumer polypropylene.

Prevented Ocean Plastic™ is a fantastic organisation of supply chain specialists who collaborate with the best recyclers in the world to prevent plastic from ending up in the ocean.
And it’s no small feat: each month, they prevent over 1000 tonnes of plastic and 2.5 billion plastic bottles from entering the ocean.
Plastic is collected from areas at risk of ocean plastic pollution by specific plastic collectors from the local communities.
The recycling process is carried out in an established, quality-controlled and traceable supply chain - so you know exactly where your plastic has come from, and its prior journey.
The plastic is washed, sanitised and processed into raw material flakes or pellets, all according to European and North American quality standards.
These fully certified recycled plastics can then be used by supermarkets and brands, identifiable by the Prevented Ocean Plastic™ distinctive triangular blue logo.
Whenever you see the Prevented Ocean Plastic™ logo on packaging, this means:
