Who is Bantam Materials International and where does its Bantam come from?
Bantam Materials International is a supplier of recycled plastic flakes and pellets for the manufacture of PCR PET packaging. Our partner Berry PET Power sources its raw materials from Bantam to make their packaging containing recycled PET.
Bantam Materials International invests in developing countries to create recycled plastic supply chains by organising the collection of plastic waste. His aim is to collect plastic waste found along the shore and up to 50 kilometers from the coast (“ocean bound plastics”) to prevent them from ending in the ocean. That’s why the recycled material produced is certified Prevented Ocean Plastic.
Local populations with no source of income can be paid as simple collectors or become “bottle micro entrepreneurs” by setting up their own collection and sorting system. Bantam Materials International’s business model therefore has both environmental and social benefits.
The company offers full traceability of the collection and recycling process, from the beaches where the plastic is collected to the recycled flakes and pellets ready to be used for production.
