We are particularly impressed by the combination of technology-based waste collection and local infrastructure development, as it creates measurable, long-term impact.”

“Landmarken has been supporting the project for five years now. We also want to set an example for other companies and encourage them to support initiatives like this. If we all work together, if more companies get involved and more boats are out there removing waste from rivers, we can actually achieve a great deal.”

Our Plastic Credits can be integrated into existing CSR and ESG strategies. One Plastic Credit represents 1 kilogram of plastic waste that is removed from rivers or waterways and processed in the best possible way. By purchasing Plastic Credits, you support waste collection, local jobs, and the development of long-term structures in our project regions. At the same time, you create a transparent foundation for credible environmental communication.
This is how our partners put their commitment into action.
400% customer growth: With the MAX Ocean electricity and gas tariff, MAXENERGY combines 100% green electricity with measurable waterway protection. For every contract, €1 goes to everwave each month, funding the removal of 1 kg of waste from waterways. Since 2023, more than 232,600 kg of waste has been removed this way.
10,000 kg in one weekend: At the Germany Sail Grand Prix in Sassnitz, 144 participants put their power into the Grinder for clean waterways. Their effort filled ten virtual waste-collection boats and hit the shared cleanup target. everwave is carrying out the resulting cleanup in Cambodia.
At Kieler Woche 2026, BLACKROLL, everwave, and the community worked together to clear the coastline of waste. For every registered sailor, BLACKROLL also financed the removal of one kilogram of waste. The activation connected the shared experience on site with the removal of more than 3,000 kg of waste in everwave’s project regions.
More than 150 companies already trust everwave
Plastic Credits can help companies integrate environmental action into their CSR and ESG strategies in a tangible way. They finance the collection and responsible processing of waste from rivers and waterways while supporting local jobs and the development of long-term structures in project regions.
The resulting impact is transparently documented, providing a traceable foundation for sustainability communications and reporting. This allows you to combine concrete environmental action with measurable results and credible communication.
Link products or services directly to Plastic Credits and show your customers the impact this creates.
Set a fixed volume of Plastic Credits and create predictable, long-term environmental outcomes – independent of sales or campaigns.
Engage your community with corporate social responsibility campaigns such as #1like1kilo or Blue Friday, turn reach and participation into tangible environmental action, and connect with new audiences.
As a company, you make a direct contribution to cleaning rivers and waterways worldwide – transparent, verifiable and independently certified under the Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Standard and verified by TÜV SÜD.
With documented and traceable Plastic Credits, you are prepared for new requirements such as the EmpCo Directive, PPWR regulation, and CSRD reporting obligations.
Showcase your commitment through impactful communication and strengthen your positioning across ESG and CSR reports, campaigns, and social media.
Integrate your sustainability commitment into your business model and create real value for customers, employees and investors.
Our entire process is externally verified by TÜV SÜD. This ensures that every Plastic Credit is fully traceable from collection to final recovery or disposal, while preventing any form of double counting.
In addition, our Plastic Credits are certified under the internationally recognized Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Standard and independently audited. The collection, documentation, and recovery of the waste are externally verified and transparently tracked throughout the entire process.
The OBP Standard assesses far more than the removal of plastic from the environment. Transparent processes, compliance with legal requirements, and fair, responsible working conditions are also key elements of the certification.
The result is Plastic Credits backed by environmental impact that is measurable, verifiable and independently audited.
Support our cleanup projects now and directly fund the collection of plastic waste from rivers around the world.

Yes. Plastic Credits are traceable at every stage – from collection and sorting through to further processing. Each Credit is assigned a unique identification number. This provides transparent evidence of the environmental impact and supports compliance with the new requirements under the EmpCo Directive.
Yes. Our Plastic Credits are certified under the Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Standard and our entire process is externally verified by TÜV SÜD. The Ocean Bound Plastic Standard and its associated certification specifically support projects that remove plastic waste from the environment. They provide a science-based, transparently verifiable framework to ensure that collected waste comes from areas where it is at risk of entering the ocean.
For everwave, this means:
We can transparently demonstrate how much plastic waste we have collected and where it came from.
This gives our partners a reliable basis for ESG reporting and clearly distinguishes our approach from models that cannot be verified.
The standard ensures that our impact is created where plastic pollution poses the greatest risk to the ocean.
Currently, our project locations in Cambodia — Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, and Siem Reap — are certified under the OBP Standard. Certification is planned for Albania. Across all our projects, whether already officially certified or not, we follow the same high standards and meet the OBP requirements throughout our operations.
