We aim to put ourselves out of business

With your help, we can work towards a future where plastic no longer pollutes our oceans. This is possible by cleaning up what is already out there, and stopping plastic on its way to the ocean via rivers. We are currently cleaning up in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, as well as working on more river Interceptor deployments in some of the world’s most polluted rivers.
