Studio Florian&Christine are committed to transforming waste materials and domestic waste into design products available for daily life, and explore the innovation and integration of technology, traditional technology and sustainable design.

They start a project name Future Sea Craft .The designer found that a lot of garbage was washed ashore along the Thames River after the ebb tide. After investigation, he found that there were a lot of plastic garbage in the nearby sea area. Marine organisms would eat these plastic products by mistake, and the consequences were very serious. So they came up with the idea of transforming marine garbage and wastes into products through design intervention. And the plastic collected on the Thames is cast into elegant tiles called Thames terrazzo.

Plastic is almost inescapable in our daily lives. It’s used to make everything from food packaging to toiletries, clothing, furniture, computers and cars. This ubiquitous material is designed to be very durable – and as a result much of it doesn’t biodegrade. Depending on the type, plastic can take between a few decades to potentially millions of years to disintegrate in landfill. Consequently, unless it’s burned, which itself causes pollution, nearly every piece of plastic ever manufactured still exists today – and when it enters the ocean, its effects can be felt for centuries.

Incredibly vast and deep, the ocean acts like a huge sink for global pollution. Some of the plastic in the ocean originates from ships that lose cargo at sea. Abandoned plastic fishing nets and longlines – known as ghost gear – is also a large source, making up about 10% of plastic waste at sea. Marine aquaculture contributes to the problem, too, mainly when the polystyrene foam that’s used to make the floating frames of fish cages makes its way into the sea.

Last year, more than 1.5 billion plastic masks flowed into the ocean. It takes 400 years to decompose naturally, and more than 6 million tons of oil flow into the ocean every year for various reasons.

According to network data analysis, if the pollution problem is not improved, then by 2050, the total weight of ocean plastic waste will exceed that of fish.
