ROKA
Helping The Planet
100 million plastic bottles are used worldwide everyday, and 80% of those never get recycled and end up in our landfills and oceans. We’ve created Roka Sustainable to address this challenge, a range of bags made out of recycled plastic bottles to help recycle waste and protect marine life.
Recycled Material
PET material (polyethylene terephthalate, raw petroleum-based material) is widely used in plastic bottles and other food packaging all over the world. We use recycled PET (or rPET) in our sustainable bags giving new life to a material that’s not biodegradable and would otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean.
Less Waste
But we also wanted to dive in to the manufacturing, so our new method uses 85% less energy, 80% less water, and 65% fewer emissions than traditional methods. Next we took a closer look at our packaging and completely redesigned that as well. This new Roka Sustainable range will arrive in corn-starch based, biodegradable packaging.
