May 2025: 2 million kilograms of waste – the equivalent of 60 million plastic bottles. Lined up end to end, it makes a line from Munich to Cambodia and back again. <\/strong><\/p>

It all began in 2018, with a vision: clean rivers, waters and oceans<\/strong>. The incredible pollution of the oceans prompted the founding team to take action themselves. It quickly becomes clear that rivers are the problem. Because 80% of waste is washed into the oceans by rivers<\/strong>. In order to close the waste cycle, we need to start there and prevent the waste from ending up in the oceans in the first place. <\/p>

2020 marks the first major milestone: the first kilogram of waste is recovered at Hron in Slovakia. This is followed by the deployment of the company’s<\/strong> first own waste collection boat – which was specially developed for the missions together with a German boat builder<\/strong>. Since then, the fleet has grown and with it the impact: stationary projects<\/strong> followed in Cambodia (Mekong), Thailand (Chao Phraya) and, since March 2025, in Albania (Drin)<\/strong>. Supplemented by local teams on site and specially installed zero-waste centers, everwave creates a lasting impact. <\/p>

Currently, the use of AI<\/strong> is helping the projects<\/strong> to better detect and analyze waste: drones and other aircraft are being used to find and analyze waste in the waters and to understand how it spreads.<\/p>

A lot has been achieved from the first kilograms of waste to the 2 million. But the journey is far from over! everwave continues to work in line with its vision: for cleaner rivers and less waste<\/strong>. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
