WHY SILICONE?

---

When it comes to the environment, silicone is highly durable and more ocean friendly than plastic. But what is silicone made of? Silicone, which is made from silica found in sand, is much longer lasting than plastic in the environment as well as while being used in products. This extreme durability is positive for numerous reasons.

By using silicone products, people can dramatically reduce their dependence on plastics With more than 5 trillion pieces of plastic floating in our oceans, using less plastic means contributing less to this mounting mass of plastics lost in our environment and poisoning our wildlife.

Silicone resists oxidative deterioration (normal ageing) for decades on end. In fact, studies have shown that silicones thrive on challenges, including exposure to extreme heat and cold, harsh chemicals, rain, snow, salt spray, ultraviolet radiation, ozone and acid rain, just to name a few.
