威尔士插画家切维勒·弗莱尔和日本科技公司泰进联手,将一本完全由回收的海洋塑料制成的儿童读物变成了现实。海洋塑料书项目是由环保慈善机构“无废物海洋”与广告公司Jung von Matt合作构想的。这本书的灵感来源于一项研究,该研究表明,每年有超过80亿公斤的塑料垃圾进入我们的海洋,到2050年,预计塑料碎片将超过鱼类。这本书讲述了一个叫皮帕的女孩的故事,她梦想有一天能够和海里的每一种动物一起游泳。然而,当她决定进行一次海洋探险时,许多动物却不能正常游泳,因为它们被塑料碎片弄伤了。但是,这个故事有一个快乐的结局,皮帕继续帮助这些生物,禁止海洋所有塑料,最终成为海洋女王。有了海洋塑料书,我们把有害的海洋塑料变成了一种有益的力量,可以代代相传。

Welsh illustrator Chervelle Fryer and Japanese technology company Teijin have helped bring to life a children’s book produced entirely from recycled ocean plastic. The Ocean Plastic Book project was conceived by environmental charity Waste Free Oceans, in collaboration with advertising agency Jung von Matt. The idea for the book came about based on research showing that more than 8 billion kilograms of plastic waste ends up in our seas and oceans every year, and by 2050 it is estimated that there will be more pieces of plastic than fish. The book tells the story of a girl called Pippa, who dreams of one day being able to swim with every animal in the sea. When she decides to go on an oceanic adventure however, many of the animals aren’t able to swim properly because they have been injured by pieces of plastic debris. The tale has a happy ending however, with Pippa going on to help the creatures, ban all plastics from the sea and ultimately become the “Queen of the Ocean”. Waste Free Oceans has collected plastic waste from all over the world to produce the book. Teijin – which specialises in fibre production and plastic processing techniques – then shredded the plastics into pellets and turned them into fibres that were used to create a tear and water-resistant material for the book’s pages and cover. “Instead of extracting more natural resources, we wanted to lead to a change with what’s not only freely available, but what’s doing harm right now,” says Waste Free Oceans CEO, Bernard Merkx. “With the Ocean Plastic Book, we turned harmful ocean plastic into a force for good that can be passed on for generations to come.” When it came to illustrating the book, Fryer took inspiration from the garish plastics found on supermarket shelves, incorporating colours such as neon yellow, royal blue, magenta and scarlet. Fryer also cites her childhood obsession with watching the National Geographic on TV as another influence. “As the adventure goes deeper with Pippa I also went deeper into the sea,” says the illustrator. “There are various scary fish present that used to scare me too, including a giant squid hidden in one scene, and a moray eel that spooked a younger me in Australia.” The book is currently being sent out to politicians and other public figures, and the team behind it is in talks with publishers about releasing a publicly available edition.
