David De Rothschild and Crew Unveil the Finished Plastiki


Made from 12,500 reclaimed plastic bottles, the recycled srPET is a strong, bouyant material.

To top it off, the secondary bonding is reinforced using a newly developed organic glue made from cashew nuts and sugar cane. It's a very green boat, and its credentials don't stop with the construction. (more)
