该项目为清除海洋废弃塑料活动募集资金，而本次活动由两个非营利组织发起。

These pastel-toned cabinet handles may look like solid marble, but they are actually made from recycled ocean plastic.

“The premise was simple,” explained Priyanka Rao of Spark &”>

此外，出售海洋塑料把手（Ocean Plastic Knob）收入的一部分钱将捐给大堡礁基金会（Great Barrier Reef Foundation），资助大型项目开发，从而解决世界上最大珊瑚礁所面临的诸多威胁。

Rao说：“只要你购买，就意味着为非营利组织的工作添砖加瓦，这些组织正在努力地保护着我们的海洋。”

The handles are manufactured using plastic collected by ocean conservation organisation Sea Shepard Australia. The funds this organistion raises by selling the ocean plastic goes towards its Marine Debris collection programme, which is working to clean up the Australian coastline.

In addition, a percentage of the proceeds from sales of the Ocean Plastic Knob are donated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, to help fund large-scale projects developing solutions to the many threats facing the world’s largest coral reef.

“By purchasing even just one item, you can contribute to the work of great not-for-profit organisations working tirelessly to protect our ocean,” said Rao.

通过将废塑料分解，然后再加热并倒入模具，最后制成了这款把手。这款把手是一款定制产品，特别的制造技术让它们独一无二。

这款把手有四种颜色：粉色、黑色、灰色和绿色，同时也可以定制颜色。手柄的直径为50毫米，高为35毫米。

The handles are made by breaking down the waste plastic into pellets, which are then heated and poured into moulds. They are made to order and, thanks to the nature of the technique, each one has a unique appearance.

There are four colours available: pink, black, grey and green. But the handles can also be ordered in custom colours. They measure 50 millimetres in diameter, with a 35 millimetre projection.

海洋塑料把手是使用回收海洋塑料制造的一系列新产品中的最新产品，人们愈发意识到塑料对环境的影响。

近期，其他的海洋塑料产品有西班牙时尚品牌Ecoalf的鞋类系列，它们用由旧塑料瓶纺成的纱线制成，还有西班牙设计师Adolfo Correa设计的夏威夷衬衫（Hawaiian shirt）。

The Ocean Plastic Knob is the latest in a series of new products made using recycled ocean plastic, as people becomes increasingly aware of the environmental impact of virgin plastic.

Other recent products that incorporate ocean plastic include a footwear collection from Spanish fashion brand Ecoalf, which is made using a yarn spun from old plastic bottles, and a Hawaiian shirt by Spanish designer Adolfo Correa.
