The Guys Who Sell Ocean Plastic Bracelets Just Reached 30 Million Pounds of Waste Pulled From Seas
4ocean has reached a stellar milestone: 30 million pounds of plastic waste recovered from the our oceans, rivers, and coastlines since the company began in 2017.
Operating in 12 locations across two continents, 4ocean has been dedicated to ending the ocean plastic crisis.
“4ocean is incredibly proud to have accomplished this record-setting feat” said Alex Schulze, 4ocean CEO and Co-Founder.
“We’ve built an entire business for the sole purpose of cleaning the ocean. With hundreds of local captains and crew members recovering trash from our oceans and coastlines seven days a week and the support of millions of people doing their part to prevent plastic pollution, I’m sure our work will have a lasting impact on the ocean.”
Schulze made the announcement after the 4ocean TrashTracker, a proprietary database used to document the company’s recovered materials through their entire supply chain, was independently audited and verified by GreenCircle Certified, an internationally recognized third-party entity that tests sustainability claims.
4ocean, a Public Benefit B Corp based in Boca Raton, Florida, sells bracelets made from the plastic waste collected, employs 185 crew members in the USA, Indonesia, and Guatemala, who are local to the area.
“All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets are handcrafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet purchased funds our cleanups and creates jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now.”
