According to a 2017 scientific journal, more than 9.1 billion tons of plastic have been produced globally since the Industrial Revolution in 1950. Plastic cannot decompose in nature like other substances, so up to 334% of plastic waste has accumulated in garbage. In landfills, there is more garbage scattered on the land, sinking in the depths of the ocean, and in lakes, causing organisms to accidentally eat it and even cause death. According to statistics, about 8 million tons of plastic waste flows into the ocean every year around the world, and as many as 800 species are threatened. The United Nations pointed out in a 2016 report that marine debris has become a key factor threatening marine and coastal biological life; in Taiwan, the Environmental Protection Agency also jointly released the "Taiwan Marine Debris Management Action Plan" on this (13th), publicly announcing that it will In 2030, single-use plastic products including shopping plastic bags, disposable tableware, take-out drink cups, and plastic straws will be completely banned. In 2019, we will strive to become the first country in the world to restrict the use of plastic straws. We hope to achieve this as soon as possible. The goal of "plastic-free oceans". In response to global environmental issues, more and more designers and industries are investing in the field of green design, especially the development of products made from recycled materials, which have mushroomed in recent years. How to show design power on products and provide the market with a green consumption choice has become the direction in which designers continue to work hard. Looking at the products made from recycled marine plastics, it is not difficult to find that more than 80% of them emphasize the research and development and reuse of materials, such as Helen Xindu Silk’s black marine plastic bottles or Ecoa, which turns materials into textiles.
