buoy, a brand for marine plastic waste materials; new

Marine plastic waste has been considered difficult to recycle because it is degraded by seawater and ultraviolet rays and because it is difficult to separate the different types of resin. However, in an effort to somehow transform marine plastic waste, which has become a social problem, into a new material, a plastics manufacturer researched and developed buoy, a brand that was born. Up until now, buoy has been offering sundry items in different colors depending on where and when the plastic was collected.
This summer, buoy will release several new items for the first time in a year. The first 10 items will be released on August 17.

buoy's first bath and toiletry products, "Soap Dish" and "Toothbrush Stand
A thin and simple soap dish and a compact toothbrush stand for use around the sink, which tends to become cluttered, were created.
The design is simple but a little glamorous, taking advantage of the stone-like buoy texture.

Soap dish:  114.5 x 94.7 x 14.7 mm
Toothbrush stand: 47.6 x 50.05 x 31.5 mm
