OBP (Ocean Bound Plastic) refers to environmentally friendly raw materials made from recycled plastic waste within 50 kilometers of the coastline that has not entered the sea. The core categories are OBP-PE/PP/PET/PA/PC/ABS, emphasizing low carbon footprint and traceability.

Marine plastic debris (OBP) refers to plastic waste that "poses an eventual loss to the ocean." It is estimated that marine plastic debris accounts for 80% of all marine plastic waste. It includes:

A small portion of commercially recyclable plastic waste

A large portion of non-commercially recyclable plastic waste

I. Core Definition and Classification

- Definition: Recycled plastic waste from within 50 kilometers of the coastline (including beaches, estuaries, and near-shore fisheries), processed through sorting, washing, and modification into recycled granules, can replace virgin materials and significantly reduce carbon emissions.

- Classification

- Potential OBP: Within 50 kilometers of land, not entering the sea

- Collected OBP: Recycled from beaches/coastal zones

- Fishing Activity OBP: Fishing nets/gear and other fishery plastics

- Clarification: Do not confuse with "benzoyl polyester OBP" (polystyrene), the former is a recycled environmentally friendly material, while the latter is a specialty engineering plastic.

II. Key Characteristics and Performance

- Environmental Attributes: Reduces marine plastic pollution by approximately 1.2 tons per ton; carbon emissions are reduced by 50-70% compared to virgin materials; supports GRS/OBP/ISCC full-chain certification and TC trading license.

- Basic Properties (taking OBP-PE as an example): Melt flow index 1.5-3.0 g/10min, tensile strength ≥25 MPa, impact strength ≥12 kJ/m², flexural modulus 800-1000 MPa, close to virgin material levels.

- Modification Directions: Reinforcement, toughening, heat resistance, antibacterial properties; suitable for injection molding/blow molding/extrusion processes.

III. Mainstream Categories and Applications

Category | Core Source | Typical Application

OBP-PE (HDPE/LDPE) | Plastic Bottles/Films/Drums | Packaging Containers, Outdoor Furniture, Marine Engineering Accessories

OBP-PET | Beverage Bottles/Packaging | Cosmetic Packaging Materials, Textile Fibers, Sheets

OBP-PP | Turnover Boxes/Daily Necessities | Injection Molded Parts, Automotive Interiors, Home Appliance Housings

OBP-PA | Fishing Nets/Ropes | Textile Fibers, Engineering Components, Cable Ties

OBP-PC/ABS | Electrical Appliance Housings/Automotive Parts | Electronic Housings, Medical Accessories, Automotive Interiors

IV. Certification and Traceability Key Points

- OBP Certification: International standard, including recycling location, proportion, and traceability; requires a TC transaction certificate.

- Supporting Certifications: GRS/ISCC/UL, covering recycled components, social responsibility, and carbon footprint; essential for export.

- Traceability Requirements: Each batch must be accompanied by proof of recycling origin + TC certificate + test report to meet brand compliance requirements.

V. Production Process and Manufacturers

- Process: Recycling → Sorting → Cleaning → Crushing → Granulation → Modification → Testing → Certification → Shipment. - Major Domestic Manufacturers

VI. Selection and Procurement Recommendations

1. Select product category by application:

OBP-PE/PET for packaging, OBP-PP/ABS for structural components, OBP-PA for textiles.

2. Required documents: OBP certification, GRS/ISCC certificate, TC certificate, batch test report.

3. Performance matching: Melt flow index, impact/tensile strength, and weather resistance must meet product requirements.

4. Delivery and MOQ: Standard MOQ is 25kg, negotiable for bulk orders; urgent orders require advance scheduling.
