This is what Plastic Credits are

A Plastic Credit represents 1 kg of waste removed from rivers and waterways and processed for further use. With every Credit, our partners directly fund our cleanup projects and create measurable environmental impact.

We rely on our own local teams and infrastructure rather than outsourcing collection to external providers. That way, we keep control over the entire process – from collection through sorting to processing – and can document every step transparently and traceably.

But the results go beyond the individual kilogram. Plastic Credits help build lasting local infrastructure. With Zero Waste Centers, local jobs and long-term cleanup projects, we are laying the foundation for cleaner waterways and functioning circular systems.

This reduces the long-term burden on waterways, returns valuable resources to the circular economy, and strengthens local communities. Every kilogram collected becomes a contribution to long-term change.

Plastic Credits: externally audited

everwave’s Plastic Credits are certified under the internationally recognized Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Standard and independently audited. This means that collection, collected quantities and further processing are externally reviewed and documented in a traceable manner.

The OBP Standard covers more than just the removal of plastic waste from the environment. Transparent processes, compliance with national regulations, and fair, responsible working conditions are also part of the certification.

The result is a Plastic Credit whose impact is not only measurable but also independently verifiable.

4

Do our Plastic Credits meet the requirements of the EmpCo Directive?

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.

5

Are everwave’s Plastic Credits externally audited?

Yes. Our Plastic Credits are certified under the Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) Standard and externally audited. The 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 contributing to ocean pollution.

For everwave, that means:

We can transparently demonstrate how much plastic 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 exactly where plastic pollution poses the greatest risk to the ocean.

Our project locations in Cambodia – Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville and Siem Reap – are currently OBP-certified. In Albania, we are working toward certification.
