Ocean-Recovered Plastic for Injection-Molded Products

Our StokedPlastic® technology removes ocean trash, specifically water bottles, and transforms it into high-quality recyclable plastic for injection-molded products — over 10x more sustainable, 100% circular, and built to meet your ESG commitments.

The StokedPlastic® difference

A recycled plastic engineered for performance goods

Most recycled plastics lose the properties durable products depend on. StokedPlastic® was developed to keep them.

01

100% Circular

Ocean-recovered water bottles become high-quality recyclable plastic, keeping material in use instead of in the ocean.

02

Over 10x More Sustainable

A scalable solution that turns ocean trash into resin for injection-molded products.

03

Durable & Flexible

Unlike our competitors, we reconstruct the durable and flexible properties required for high-quality, performance-based goods.

04

Meets ESG Commitments

Add ocean-recovered recycled content to your product line and help your brand reach its sustainability goals.

From bottle to product

What brands are making with StokedPlastic®

From helmets to hydration packs, StokedPlastic® runs in injection-molded parts across outdoor, sport and lifestyle products.

How it works

A new wave of recycled material, from ocean trash to finished goods

Recover

Plastic water bottles are removed from the ocean.

Traceability

Through our accredited partners, every water bottle extracted from the ocean and landfills is tracked, so we can trace where each bottle came from and which community its removal supports.

Transform

Our StokedPlastic® technology turns recovered bottles into high-quality recyclable plastic.

Engineer

Our formulas restore the durability and flexibility that performance products require.

Mold

Brands and manufacturers run StokedPlastic® in their injection-molding lines to make finished goods.

Industries we serve

One material. Many demanding markets.

StokedPlastic® replaces virgin plastic in injection-molded parts wherever performance, traceability and recycled content all matter.

01 · OUTDOOR & SNOWSPORTS

Gear that takes a beating

Binding parts, buckles, goggle frames and hardware for brands built on durability.

02 · AUTOMOTIVE & E-MOBILITY

Interiors and accessories

Interior trim, clips and accessory components, plus e-bike and micromobility parts.

03 · FOOTWEAR & APPAREL

Trims and hardware

Buckles, trims and accessories that carry your recycled-content story.

04 · EYEWEAR

Frames and cases

Sunglass and snow-goggle frames, buckles and cases with custom color and finish.

05 · COOLERS & DRINKWARE

Everyday essentials

Cold packs, caps and lids for products that live outdoors.

06 · SPORTING GOODS & EDC

Precision parts

Lacrosse heads, knife handles and sheaths, bag clips and more.

Our impact

Every pellet starts as a bottle bound for the ocean.

Our qualified collection and compounding partners recover plastic bottles before they reach the sea, with a documented chain of custody from collection to finished part.

Our mission

Keep plastic in use, and out of the ocean.

Most recycled plastic is a one-way trip. StokedPlastic® is built to be re-pelletized at the end of a product's life, so the same material can live many lives instead of becoming waste.

Meet the Founders

Our material

High recycled content. Virgin-like performance.

A 25% StokedPlastic® blend tests within 2% of virgin PET for tensile strength and durability, and higher-content grades reach up to 100% recycled for the right application. It runs on your existing tooling and is traceable from collected bottle to finished part through our qualified collection and compounding partners.

Up to 100% recycled

Ocean-bound PET bottles, rebuilt by our proprietary process.

No new tooling

Swap the resin on your existing molds and lines.

Fully traceable

Chain of custody from collection to finished part.

Circular by design

End-of-life parts can be re-pelletized into new material.

Frequently asked questions

Is StokedPlastic® really made from ocean plastic?

StokedPlastic® is made from ocean-bound PET water bottles, recovered by our qualified collection and compounding partners before they reach the sea. Every batch carries a documented chain of custody from collection to pellet.

Will it run on our existing molds and machines?

Yes. StokedPlastic® is a drop-in resin for injection molding: no new molds and no new process. We provide processing specs and support your molder's first runs.

How much recycled content can we use?

A 25% StokedPlastic® blend tests within 2% of virgin PET for tensile strength and durability. Higher-content grades reach up to 100% recycled for the right application.

Can you match our colors and finishes?

Yes. We offer custom color matching, textures and finishes, from clear and solid colors to tortoise-shell effects. Our bottle logo can also be molded directly into parts.

Is it recyclable at the end of a product's life?

StokedPlastic® parts can be shredded, melted and re-pelletized into new material. Ask us about take-back and regrind programs for your products.

How do we get started?

Tell us what you make, the material you want to replace and your annual volume. Our partner sample program gives you samples, agreed pass/fail criteria and a clear go/no-go decision in about 13 weeks.
