Plastic Projects

More than 20 million tonnes of plastic waste end up in aquatic ecosystems every year!¹

That’s the same as 2,000 garbage trucks full of plastic dumped into our rivers, lakes and oceans daily. It is estimated that without the implementation of reduction, recovery, prevention, and recycling projects, this figure will triple by 2060.² Without change, plastic waste will continue to impact our marine ecosystems, and significantly impact our food supply, health, and livelihood.

Combating Plastic Pollution and Empowering Underserved Communities

By supporting plastic impact projects, you can directly contribute to the recovery of ocean-bound plastic waste before it enters the water, mitigating the harm it inflicts on delicate aquatic habitats and the species that call them home. These projects ensure that the collected plastic waste is responsibly diverted from landfills and to an agreed end destination.

Beyond the environmental benefits, these projects also prioritize co-benefits including advancing education, quality of life and economic opportunities for women. Your funding plays a crucial role in preserving the integrity of our oceans and the biodiversity they sustain, while simultaneously uplifting underserved communities around the globe. It is a tangible investment in a cleaner, more sustainable future for our planet and its inhabitants.

Transparent and Verified Impact

To ensure the utmost integrity and accountability, the tonnage of plastic waste collected by each project undergoes rigorous third-party verification. This independent auditing process secures that the reported figures are accurate and reliable, providing you with the confidence that your financial contribution is translating into measurable and tangible outcomes. Our projects are among the first to have undertaken the rigorous requirements to be awarded the Ocean Bound Plastic Neutrality Certification by Zero Plastic Oceans.

Our commitment to outcome-based funding means that your dollars are directly tied to the quantifiable impact achieved by these initiatives. You can rest assured that your investment is yielding real, verifiable results in the fight against plastic pollution and the preservation of our oceans.
