Paris, France--(Newsfile Corp. - June 1, 2022) -Plastiks, a recovery-guarantee marketplace that enables sponsorship of projects reducing plastic waste, has collaborated with Hotel Lancaster to launch a new collection of NFTs, all linked to unique luxury experiences in Paris' finest hotels whilst helping to reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment.

The NFT collection will initially be restricted to 15 items, which are on sale today, 1st June, 2022. All of these NFTs are associated with a hotel room that, alongside the artwork of the room, will contain the Plastic Recovery Guarantee (PRG). This supports a logistic reverse startup in Brazil,Green Mining, that works to improve plastic recovery by employing waste pickers.

This collection marks the first time a hotel in Europes has associated itself with NFTs to specifically engage with travelers and give environmentally conscious guests proof of the eco-efforts. These NFTs will help in developing brand connection and loyalty using a range of benefits such as VIP club membership. Apart from these benefits, the NFT holders can be assured that they are funding the recovery of harmful plastic and supporting the employment of essential waste pickers.

All of these environmentally beneficial investments can be showcased using Plastiks' Sustainability Dashboard, which is further enhanced by Celo, the carbon-negative crypto ecosystem Plastiks utilizes for the sale and purchase of NFTs.

Lydérick Jadaud, Hotel Director at Hotel Lancaster, said:"These NFTs allow our clients to directly contribute to the global fight against plastic waste and improve the lives of the people on the ground. I am immensely proud that Hotel Lancaster is able to bring these groups together through this fantastic project.

Plastiks was launched earlier this year as the world's first utility NFT dedicated to revolutionizing the fight against plastic waste and is powered byNozama, the London-based global sustainability technology company.

Interesting NFTs
CryptoPunk #2338
The CryptoPunks are 10,000 uniquely generated characters. No two are exactly alike, and each one of them can be officially owned by a single person on the Ethereum blockchain. Originally, they could be claimed for free by anybody with an Ethereum wallet, but all 10,000 were quickly claimed. Now they must be purchased from someone via the marketplace that's also embedded in the blockchain.

Good day! Jumping James here. I'm here to enjoy fighting the patriarchy and hitting on yo' man. I once headbutted a platypus. I don't like to talk about it. In time you'll learn how purrfect I am.
Fuku-Shiva
The term “Fuku” refers to fortune or good luck. “Shiva” refers to the Hindu deity who represents strongly polar qualities, both severe and delicate. On a beach inspired by adventures on Phi Phi island in Thailand, three youths cavort. Two are representational figures and the third is psychologically rendered. A dynamic relationship ensues between the triad; a reciprocity of active and passive states. The boy on the right engages in maneuvers of evasion, defense, and is dressed in a speedo which reiterates the colors and symbolism of the caution tape on the left and upper right frame of the composition. In concurrent reaction the psychedelic figure shoots out a rocket powered paper airplane. The nude boy seated in the froth and sand approaches in passive repose, and is met with active attention but equal physical reserve by the psychedelic being. Perhaps the most naked figure is also the least representational. Looming large, dynamic, and active, it engages its companions playfully. Various symbols interject into the otherwise naturalistic scene, most notably a beach ball and two contaminated barrels nested in the sand. The upright barrel reads “FukuShima” in Kanji. The barrel laying down reads “Dharma”. To the left the scene is bounded by caution tape, reiterating the danger of the nuclear waste while also hosting alien archetypes, whose presence, as is the nature of these entities, runs up and just behind the consciousness of the psychedelic figure’s eggshell-like skull.
ℤ
Things are not always as they seem. Living in poverty is like serving a sentence in a prison with invisible bars. The keys are in plain sight, yet impossible to reach. Screen time captivates us with its addictive dopamine triggers, plucking at our attention span until we are no longer aware of the present... What if both worlds collide?
