Your company can make a difference
Our impact is measurable and visible. Together with our partners, we free waters worldwide from waste and prevent it from entering the oceans. We document every mission in detail. This allows our partners to transparently understand what contribution they are making.
A strong network
Impact on the ground - creating fair wages and new jobs
Our work goes beyond simply collecting waste. Our projects create long-term jobs with fair wages that strengthen the local economy. Our teams in Cambodia, Thailand and Albania not only receive a regular income, but also occupational health and safety resources and regular training opportunities.
Infrastructure development - Sustainable solutions for a clean future
In order to bring about long-term change, we build the necessary infrastructure on site. With our mobile sorting container, zero-waste centers and recycling solutions, we ensure that collected waste is not just removed, but processed in a meaningful way. We create structures that enable waste to be efficiently sorted, recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. In this way, we prevent waste from returning to nature.
More about our Impact
Since our foundation in 2018, we have already removed several million kilograms of waste from bodies of water and the number is growing every day. Every kilogram collected brings us closer to our goal – a cleaner and more liveable environment for everyone. On our impact page you can track our waste collection figures transparently.
We focus on maximum transparency and digital traceability. Every single step – from collection to the issue of Plastic Credits – is documented and checked:
- Multi-stage collection: The collected waste is recorded and weighed at several steps along the way. These quantities are independently confirmed by official weighing certificates.
- Proprietary software solution: All data, including photos of the collected and weighed waste, is stored in our proprietary software. Each Plastic Credit is given a unique serial number and is therefore fully traceable – from collection point to sale. Double counting is excluded.
- Waste collection certificate: Our partners receive an official certificate that transparently shows the quantity collected, the location, the date and the order number.
Our aim is to recycle the collected waste in the best possible way. The basis for this is our certification in accordance with the Ocean Bound Plastic Standard, which ensures that no collected material can be returned to nature.
- Recycling on site: Wherever possible, we return materials directly to the cycle.
- Co-processing: We use waste that cannot be recycled as a substitute fuel in industry – e.g. in cement plants. There, the waste replaces fossil fuels, thereby generating energy and reducing the amount of waste at the same time.
We are a transparent company and also report on challenges:
In Albania, around two thirds of the waste collected consists of recyclable material (mainly PET). This is pressed in our zero-waste center and transported to recycling centers in Tirana. The remaining third of non-recyclable waste currently has to be disposed of in a secure local landfill. This is not the standard we are aiming for. It is important to note that waste that ends up in landfill is not sold as plastic credit.
We are working hard to develop sustainable solutions here too and to expand the local infrastructure together with partners so that even more materials can be recycled in the future.
We collect everything that doesn’t belong in the water! Of course, plastic is particularly harmful to the environment, but we also collect many other things: from car tires to refrigerators to textiles – the composition varies greatly depending on the region. We’re not just interested in plastic, but in everything that harms nature. And don’t worry, before we process the material further, we separate and sort it into different categories so that we can process it accordingly.
No – our approach creates measurable and verifiable impact. With our waste collection boats and local teams, we collect plastic directly from rivers and waters before it reaches the sea. Every Plastic Credit is transparently traceable and documented by an official waste collection certificate.
Of course, our Plastic Credits do not replace zero-waste programs or the responsibility of companies to avoid waste. But we do make an important contribution: we clean up existing pollution, create local jobs and ensure that waste is recycled or reused in the best possible way.
