Removing Plastics From Our Oceans
Global plastic consumption has skyrocketed during the past decades, causing a severe threat to the ocean, nature, and society. Immediate and collective action is needed to change the tide against plastic pollution. We want to change the world. And we want to do it together with you. We believe the solution lies in reducing plastic consumption, improving waste management, and large-scale cleanup solutions to stop the amounts of plastic waste littering our waters and causing a severe threat to marine life, ecosystems, climate change, and human health.
Working with our Project Partners ReSea, we are on a mission to put an end to the ocean plastic crisis and to make waves beyond the sea we operate in. Our cleanup solution is community-driven, meaning we employ people in local communities to recover plastic waste from oceans and rivers. By supporting the income of our cleanup team, we contribute to better living conditions for our cleanup team and their families, and it helps raise awareness to stop plastic pollution at its source.
Building a global movement of businesses being frontrunners against ocean plastic pollution, we have the power to accelerate and make a real difference. With businesses supporting our mission we can advance our operations throughout Indonesia and similar places in the world with inadequate waste management and poverty. With our presence we seek to inspire people, governments, and companies to take concerned actions to break the plastic wave and protect the heart of the planet.
Together. For a plastic-free ocean.
With a community-driven cleanup solution supporting the circular economy, we’re not only cleaning oceans and rivers from plastic waste, we contribute to six of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Here’re the problems we solve:
• We stop plastic from littering oceans and rivers, preventing it from breaking down into microplastics, and from harming ecosystems and wildlife.
• The areas where we operate are low-income and lack the right waste management systems to avoid plastic waste from ending in waterways. Our presence in those local communities helps fight poverty by creating jobs and economic growth, and our presence helps raise awareness to stop the inflow and contribute to better waste handling.
• We support the circular economy by sorting the plastic collected and process it for local waste banks who distribute the plastic for recycling and waste handling purposes. Through our constant development, we strive to engage in strong local partnerships to utilize the longevity of the plastic recovered to reduce the amount of the new plastic entering the world.
Working with ReSea our next steps are to grow our impact in Indonesia and establish new cleanup ecosystems near rivers and coastal areas affected by plastic pollution, enter new local partnerships to ensure the highest possible amount of the recovered plastics enter the circular economy. Our daily efforts of raising awareness locally and globally remain, and our vision is to expand our operations to new geographic areas suffering from plastic mismanagement and low-income.
