Packaging from the plastic waste of the oceans
The Australian hair care brand Kevin Murphy has decided to manufacture its packaging from plastic recovered from the oceans. By the end of 2020, all of its plastic packaging will be 100% recycled.
"Thanks to this approach, the amount of plastic we will be able to recover from the ocean each year is estimated at 360 tonnes", indicates the mark. Or for every Kevin Murphy product sold, an average of 45 grams of plastic is removed from the oceans.
Kevin Murphy works with Ocean Waste Plastic (OWP), which collects and processes ocean plastics. OWP is an initiative of the Danish industrialist Pack Tech.
Call for help from a publishing house
The small publishing house Kotoji needs help. Founded in 2010 in Gondreville, Meurthe-et-Moselle, it specializes in comic books and manga and is particularly known for its Asian District label of Asian titles ( Blood & Steel, Oldman ...) and its French titles ( Under the cherry tree of memories, Sharp as a snake's tooth.. ?).
"Two years ago, our distributor at the time contacted us to announce the non-renewal of our contract, following the takeover of another group (...). No more distribution, no more turnover for months and the trouble began" says Kotoji on the Ulule website.
Today, it lacks 6,000 euros to continue to exist. A crowdfunding campaign was launched on 2 December on Ulule to raise this sum before 11 January 2020.
