Lillian Cauldwell speaks with Ryan Mast, President/Owner of Bloem. Discussing the Ocean Series Planter Manufacturing Process. 3 years ago there was a shift at Bloem to make use of the ocean’s bounty of plastic. This idea created a product that would appeal to many consumers. This new product launched with the combined assistance with Lowe’s. Because of this Ocean Series, exclusively at Lowe’s in early 2020, where this combined effort will utilize more than a million pounds of plastic waste – 25 percent reprocessed material from marine waste and 75 percent curbside waste. Bloem is a company that recycles the ocean’s plastic and remakes them into plant containers.
