Putting Plastic Credits to work
Discover great examples of how your company can successfully integrate Plastic Credits into your sustainability strategy, campaigns, and products.
everwave removes plastic waste from rivers and waterways before it reaches the ocean. Together with our partners, we create measurable impact.
Below, you'll see how our partners turn this shared 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.
More than €15,600 saved: ULRICHSHOF relies on Plastic Credits. For every pair of hotel slippers that guests choose not to use, ULRICHSHOF and everwave remove one kilogram of waste from rivers and waterways. The impact is transparent and measurable, providing clear evidence of the hotel's contribution to cleaner waterways.
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.
Clean energy meets measurable waterway protection: Through the impact tariffs, customers fund the removal of 1, 3, or 5 kg of waste from rivers and waterways each month. Plastic Credits are uniquely assigned, and the resulting impact is transparently documented. By the start of the partnership, 10,000 kg of waste had already been removed.
19,000 kg of plastic waste removed from waterways: Since 2023, BLACKROLL has combined campaigns, community activations, and joint cleanups with concrete action for cleaner waterways. What started as a series of joint activities has grown into a long-term impact partnership – with the next milestone of at least 20,000 kg already within reach.

What convinces us is the combination of technology-based waste collection and local infrastructure development, because it delivers a verifiable, long-term impact."
