Join the fight against plastic pollution
Help remove plastic from rivers and save our oceans
Each year, a staggering 8 million tons of plastic end up polluting our oceans, with rivers acting as major conduits for this environmental catastrophe.
Plastic pollution threatens the health of nature, including animals and humansPlastic waste not only poses an immediate threat to marine life but also breaks down into harmful microplastics, further contaminating our waterways and ultimately affecting us, humans.
The Solution: Cleaning Rivers to Save Oceans
We've partnered with Plastic Fischer, an innovative organization dedicated to combating plastic pollution in rivers. Through their groundbreaking technology, they deploy self-aligning, modular barriers that efficiently trap floating river plastic while allowing marine life to pass freely underneath.
The team of Plastic Fischer is cleaning one of their locations.
