After months scouring for discarded plastic around the world, the folks over at Sweden-based Electrolux have introduced their new limited edition Vacs from the Sea collection. The five vacuums dubbed the North Sea, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Pacific Ocean, and Baltic Sea Edition were each created using recycled plastic collected from the ocean in which it gets its name.
The plastic debris was collected with the help of organizations and people already active in the cause. Each unique Vac from the Sea was designed to represent on of the five oceans/seas and is completely functional. Electrolux currently produces Green Range vacuum cleaners made from 70 percent recycled plastic, but it wants to reach 100 percent.
The vacs will go on display soon to raise awareness about the waves of plastic garbage floating in our oceans that could easily be used to create sustainable products here on dry land. One of these bad boys will also be auctioned off and the revenue will go toward research. The pollution of our world effects us all, so take part in the Ocean Initiatives to make our world a better place for us and our little marine friends.
