Ocean bound plastic refers to plastic waste that has been improperly disposed of on land, shores, waterways, and river areas, which poses a risk of polluting the ocean. Plastic waste generated within a 50 km radius of coastlines is often mismanaged and can potentially become marine debris in the ocean. Plastic waste that is disposed of properly in landfills or organized dump sites is not categorized as ocean bound.

Use & Care
Care Guidelines
- Remove all labels/packaging and wash before use.
- Sistema® Recycled Ocean Bound Plastic containers are safe for normal household dishwashers (top rack only). Ensure the containers are secure on the top rack, this prevents them from contacting the heating element and avoids melting.
- Warm soapy water can also be used to wash the containers.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they may cause dullness to the finish.
- Do not use utensils with sharp edges (e.g., knives) in the container. They could scratch or scuff the container surface.
Microwaving
- Sistema® Recycled Ocean Bound Plastic containers can be used to reheat pre-cooked foods (without lid).
Follow the recommended food storage directions, use, or heating instructions, based on the knowledge about the food or the information on the food label. Also follow the microwave manufacturer's recommendation when defrosting or reheating foods.
When microwaving, remove the lid to allow steam to vent. To prevent splattering, cover with a paper towel. Sealing plastic lids while heating may create extra pressure causing the lid to warp or create dangerous steam build-up.
Freezing
- Sistema® Recycled Ocean Bound Plastic containers are safe for freezer use.
- Foods containing water expand when frozen. Leave sufficient space in container when freezing to allow for expansion.
- Containers can become stiff after freezing. Allow the container to rest for a few minutes at room temperature or run under warm water before opening or microwaving.
Warnings
- These containers may stain when reheating foods like tomato-based sauces, beetroot, curries, food seasoned with the herb turmeric, or foods with high fat or high sugar content.
Reheating and/or melting butter or foods high in salt, oil, fat or sugar content (i.e. chocolate, candies, syrup) could lead to severe damage and potentially melt the container.
- Avoid using plastic wrap on or inside the container during microwave use. The plastic wrap could heat, melt, and adhere to the container walls.
- These containers are not intended for cooking. Excessive reheating time in the microwave may damage the container.
- As this product is not leak-proof, extra care must be observed when transporting food that contains any form of liquid.
CAUTION: Remove lid when in microwave to avoid dangerous steam build-up. Do not use in a conventional oven, on a hot plate, under the grill, on the stove top or in convection microwave oven using convection settings. Use care when handling a container with hot contents or after reheating in the microwave.

FAQ
Q: What is ocean bound plastic?
Ocean bound plastic is plastic waste that has not been disposed of properly and therefore poses a risk of polluting the ocean. This waste is typically generated within 50 km of coastlines and is frequently mismanaged, leading to the potential for it to become marine debris in the ocean.1 This mismanaged waste, which can ultimately find its way into the ocean through various means such as inland waterways, wastewater outflows, or transportation by wind or tides, consists of material that is either littered or not correctly disposed of and is not formally managed, and may end up in uncontrolled landfills or dumps without proper containment.1 Plastic waste that is disposed of correctly in landfills or organised dump sites is not considered ocean-bound.
Q: Where does Sistema® recycled ocean bound plastic come from?
