In an effort to help solve the current plastic problem, Plastic Whale and Vepa launched Plastic Whale Circular Furniture on the 22nd of February: high-end office furniture that is made from Amsterdam Canal Plastic.

Part of the proceeds will be invested in local initiatives across the world that tackle the plastic soup problem.
